I'm definitely buying the book if Bridget comes with it! Loved the hammer bit at the end.

The first episodes were kind of lame. But now it seems like they let Bridget do "her thing" - 100% better !!
Bridget, you're crazy and I heart you for this!
PS: Use your brainparts, people :)

Actually the "people only use 10% of their brains" platitude is pure bullshit. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp http://www.csicop.org/si/9903/ten-percent-myth.html

If the author isn't aware of that, then I can't imagine his book is based on any actual science. I haven't read it, but the blurb certainly makes it sound like new-agey pseudo-science. It doesn't look like he has any background in the sciences whatsoever, according to wikipedia, let alone a background in neuroscience. I think I'll stick with actual experts when it comes to something as important as my brain...

I love the Mind Map book, and I love Bridget's review of it. The platitude about using 10% of the brain may be "bullshit" but the ide behind it still stands. You can use more of your brain!

I wrote a comment on a article about this book and wanted to know more about it. I'm so glad you did a review on this, although you really didn't address much about what the book is about! You are so funny! I'm sure you use more than 2% =). Sometimes I feel like I don't even use that much.

This review sounds like she just read the back of the book. I hate to say that, as I really enjoy these shows. But she just keeps saying how she doesn't get it rather than talking about the book. Sorry!

I didn't necessarily learn anything from this book review, although IMHO reading and learning is the best way to expand the mind. I'll forego the hammer and screwdriver :)

I love mind mapping. It's been a very valuable tool for writing, and I can use all of the help I can get. However, I do believe that the idea of human's using only 10% of their brains is actually a myth.
