5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful and practical!, January 7, 2001

By	Daniel Gladis (Czech Republic) - See all my reviews

Tony Buzan is one of the pioneers of the "Brain science". He studies how the brain works and then teaches us how we should use it. Although the first edition of this book was written in 1974, it is still considered to present the "modern approach".

The book follows a logical sequence - from explaining how the brain works and how it should be used, through lessons on speed reading and mind mapping, and finishing off with a section on study techniques. The book is full of illustrations and graphs and it is very easy to read.

I would recommend this book to every student or self student. It will improve your study productivity and your memory a lot. Perhaps it should be also combined with other books by Buzan, especially Speed Reading and Make the Most of Your Mind. I only wish I had discovered Buzan earlier.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read book that not only instructs but inspires!, February 16, 1999

By A Customer

This book deserves 5 stars hands-down. I have read this book several times since 1985 when it was assigned reading by my professor at USC. I could not believe the transformation in my improved study habit as a direct result of this gem of a book. In short, I went from a C- undergraduate to straight A's in graduate school courses and all courses since then to this day. I work smarter not harder! This book teaches you in plain language how you can too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet profound techniques to help you learn, March 5, 2003

By	J. Rosenberg "fleta" (Maple Grove, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book outlines series of very simple yet effective means to learn and retain information. None of the concepts are particularly earth shattering but they are presented in such a way as to make you say Ah ha! Of course, why didn't I think of that? Buzan includes points on how to help you read faster, how to use mnemonics to remember simple to complex information and he explains mind maps and their role in learning. He points outs the flaws in traditional learning styles and note taking and encourages you to evaluate your learning style to best utilize the time and resources available.

This book is great for students and professionals alike and I found it especially useful while studying for my MBA classes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intro Only
This is a good book to introduce you to how your brain works but it doesn't go into great depth. If this is your first read on the subject then I highly recommend it.
