The buzan Signature !

Use your head is defiantly a useful tool for anyone looking for further understanding of how the mind works and ways to use it to your advantage. A few problems with this book is that Tony Buzan purposely skimps on sections such as speed reading, Memory Techniques and to a lesser extent mind maps. The reason becomes obvious as he mentions his other books available outside of Use Your Head, it seems that its hardly a comprehensive book on as he puts it a "manual for your brain" when information and techniques are purposely left out in order for the reader to have to buy further into the series should he/she wish to truly utilize some of these techniques. Specifically on mind maps i feel that any alternatives where ignored so that the only possible solution is the mind map which is conveniently provided as an application you can buy...The issues with the book has more to do with the selective use of techniques however that doesn't overly detract from the help the book can provide for numerous people

This is one of the better books on the subject of brain training. It’s a personal favourite and I have read it more than once. It has some exercises and discipline one needs to follow to become better. Not much different from a gym for the mind. IMHO this should have more favourable rating. This was last updated in 2010. So quite old but it’s more than worthy of its price.

I first read this book years ago when the company I worked for sent me on a management course based on these principles and i have referred back to it many times over the years. It is one of the best books in this genre that i have ever read.

Had the first edition and lent it out sometime but don't know to whom. I was interested to find what has changed. From memory, the first edition was simpler to understand. It now appears to use more statistics and research facts to justify its proposals. I bought it for my grand children but think it may be a bit dry for them at the moment.

Most of us are used to mind-mapping. This book would have more impact when it first came out. That said, I spoke to a colleague recently who loved this book and still used it to good effect today. Worth buying

It can be a little slow and steady but the concepts and information is useful for all. Loved it

The Use Your Head book is very good because it covers a whole load of topics like remembering things, note taking, speed reading and revision. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Very clean copy, bought as a gift for a young man (under16) and received the ultimate approval, ' I love new books, they smell great' . needless to say the content went down equally well.
