review 1: Great book, other reviews have talked in detail about the ins and outs of what's inside, so I will focus on what most left out - the speed reading section. The section on speed reading at the end is awesome. I don't normally use yell words like 'awesome' to describe something, but in this case I am making an exception because it is. With just the few seconds it took to read the example exercise, I was able to start reading several times faster. It is a way of reading that uses less effort than what so much of us are accustomed to. It is magic how our eyes can pick up the text without trying. This section alone was worth the purchase, kudos to the author for providing such valuable insight to anyone who reads.
review 2: I wish that this way of organizing materia... morel had been available years ago. I never related well to writing outlines and always considered them rather fussy and unworkable. If you think from the top down this is a great way to organize information because you never run out of room for the subtopics (one of my problems with outlines), and you can get the whole picture on one page. I also appreciated the idea of using color, doodles, shapes, and thickness of lines to further organize and categorize the information--a boon for the visually oriented.That said, I found the book to be a bit shallow. After the good opening explanation of the concept, the rest of the book seemed to explain the obvious. I gather from some reviews that better material exists on the subject, but this one gives a good introduction. I borrowed the book through Amazon prime, so I paid nothing and gained a great idea. I'm glad I read it, and may explore other books on the subject. less
