Making your mind work takes work. Yet most of us don't know where to start. Gelb coined the term to describe the optimum use of both the left and right hemispheres of the brain. In a smooth, accessible writing style, he provides practical advice on creative problem solving, communication, learning, memory and listening. All these skills are put to use in a 35 page chapter on making presentations.
Mind mapping is a type of super note-taking.
Write a key word or idea in the center of a large sheet of paper. Then unlock your mind and start writing, placing related ideas on lines branching off from your key word. Gelb advocates using different colored pens, symbols as well as words, and printing so you can read it more easily.
