Well organized, informative, practical - and unbiased
"A very thorough review of mind mapping software, well laid out, informative and practical. It provides a balanced perspective - it referred to various types of software without specifically promoting one. I also liked the fact that it was not full of all the hype and pseudo-science that often characterizes many mind map publications."
– Dr. Wendy Pryor
University of New South Wales
An eye-opening guide to what's possible
"Your mind mapping e-book has really opened my eyes to what's possible with mind mapping software. This is the stuff they don't teach you in the user's manual. The technique on page 28 alone was worth the price of admission! This e-book should be required reading for anyone thinking of buying mind mapping software."

Dear Mind Mapper,
For years, mind mappers have told me in surveys and feedback messages that they want help. They love their mind mapping software, but don't know how to unlock its vast potential. That's why I wrote Power Tips & Strategies for Mind Mapping Software - to help you to be more productive, creative and successful with this powerful type of business software.
I am pleased to report that I have recently published a significantly expanded 3rd edition of this definitive guide to visual mapping - with nearly 50 pages of new tips, techniques and insights that you can put to work immediately to help you to produce high-impact mind maps that get results!
I’m Chuck Frey, author of the Mind Mapping Software Blog, the leading source of news, trends and best practices in the world of visual mapping. Much has changed since the last edition of this book was published in 2007. In writing this 3rd edition, I looked at the existing content with a critical eye, updating those tips that needed it, eliminating topics that aren't as relevant today and - most importantly - populated it with a wealth of new, practical and actionable information that is designed with today's programs, applications and resources in mind.

Case Histories: Readers of the blog told me they wanted to see examples of mind maps that others have created, and to understand the thinkingbehind them. That's why the collection of case histories in this e-book are a central part of its content. These are real people, solving real-world problems, gaining real efficiencies with their mind mapping software - and sharing their experiences with you, in their words.
Mind Mapping Resources: This last section of my e-book has been extensively updated and expanded, to give you access to all of the best tools and resources about mind mapping software - everythingfrom resource sites and Squidoo "lenses" about visual mapping to discussion forums and books, it's all here in one convenient place!

Improve your productivity with proven tips and strategies
Another problem you’ve probably encountered is that it’s nearly impossible to find best practices for mind mapping software. Just try Googling it, and you’ll see what I mean. The problem is that this genre of software is so new that no one has ever gathered them in one place – until now. Here are some of the unique, valuable insights you’ll learn from this e-book:
16 applications of mind mapping software that you may not have considered – but which can significantly increase your productivity
How “refactoring” can help you to look at your map in a whole new way
How the “TAP process” can help you to create more complete and well-organized maps
How to present mind maps to your colleagues and co-workers – without overwhelming them
How to really get a good look at “the bigger picture.”
How to ensure that you don’t “lose” ideas when brainstorming
Common mistakes to avoid when creating visual maps
How can you tell when a mind map is "done?"
Case histories show you the way to superior visual mapping
One of the things I discovered from my user surveys is that people who are utilizing mind mapping software want to see examples. They want to learn from others’ mind maps. That’s why my e-book contains over 20 case histories, where real users of mind mapping software explain how they create effective visual maps. Each case history includes:
A detailed description of the application for which mind mapping software was used,
The advantages and efficiencies gained in doing so, and
A screen shot of the mind map.
You not only get a picture of an actual mind map, but the creator of it tells you, in his or her own words, why they created it and what problems it solves them. You can find collections of mind maps in several places on the web, but finding the stories behind the map is impossible to find on the web. I have leveraged my audience of visual mappers to gather these informative examples together in one place, so you can learn from their experiences.
