I found the mindmap method promising in writing, but useless in reality. I heard people raving about them, and believed them. I also believed the 99% untapped brain potential idea-until I engaged the brain. How did they come up with that spurious statistic?Anyway, before reading the book, the method confused me and my learning. Even after reading the book, the method still confused me and distracted my learning. Apparently the method is trademarked, and they are making money out of it. However, it seems to be less effective than normal visual methods that are already taught at school (drawing simple figures and annotating them).Full of hype and pseudoscience.Just get a good academic study method book instead!
