A simple, basic mind mapping guide. This book can be used for the first step guide on mind-mapping.

I was a little bit disappointed in this book although it did have some good information and suggestions. I liked the parts where the author described why you use curves, or why you use different colors, etc. The chapter on actually making a mind map was short, only about 5% of the book. Overall though, the book was relatively short so that may not be out of proportion. The rest of the book was more about the science, uses and reasons for mind-mapping. Interesting but it wasn't really what I was expecting. I felt like I was being sales-pitched to join the mind-mapping cult. The main reason for my disappointment though is that this book is trying to teach you how to mind map without showing more than a few image or examples. Mind-mapping is a visual process and I was expecting some examples of actual, complete, mind maps and maybe a breakdown of how and why they were drawn that way. If the author had included a mind-map, maybe broken down by each stage, of the mind map he used to create this actual book, I would've been a lot more interested.

I received this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway.

Mind Mapping Step-by-Step had some useful points and tips, however I found this book to be poorly written, with many simple grammatical errors.
This book read a bit like a conversation, and flip flopped between semi-technical language and slang; this was very inconsistent and confusing at times.
