1.0 out of 5 stars drivel, June 13, 2002

This review is from: Mind Mapping: How to Liberate Your Natural Genius (Audio Cassette)

These tapes were a disappointment. They are big on hype and low on content. The author extols the virtues of mind-mapping but gives little practical instruction on how-to-do-it. I was expecting a more down to earth presentation. The whole thing is more like an infomercial aimed at promoting the author's consultation practice. You will find little here of practical use. After listening to these tapes, I know as little now about mind-mapping as I did before I started. They were a waste of time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get great insights on mind mapping just by listening, August 1, 1998

Listening to such an image orienting topic like mind mapping, seems strange. Nevertheless, Michael Gelb provides a great survey not only on how to use mind maps but also on where to use them. The first part of his program describes how to make a mind map. Then he describes several uses for mind maps like planning your life, telephone calls, meetings or family vacation. Another part is dedicated on presentations. He gives excellent hints on how to prepare your presentation and how to convey the information to your audience. Even if some of his explanations are not directly related to mind mapping, his program is an excellent source for getting in touch with mind mapping. I find it amazing, how Michael Gelb presents so many facets on this two hour audio program. Though I am using mind mapping for several years, I am repeatedly listening to this program from time to time again.

I am very disappointed with the tapes. There was only 2-3 minutes of information that I found useful.
