I read this book a week ago. I found it in my school library. It’s cool to see that you have it listed here on your site. The main focus of that book was to demonstrate application of the author’s 12 brain rules in schools and work. It doesn’t primarily provide ways for an individual to lead a more intellectually productive life, although in addition to the focus on the applications at school and work it does provide some interesting ways to become smarter such as exercise, sleep, and sensory integration. I’m currently training my awareness (focusing my attention on my environment) in my pursuit of becoming a regular lucid dreamer. I find it interesting that this should create more neural connections and better memory.

Anyway, good book, but not primarily focused on making you smarter.

“12 Vision. Vision trumps all other senses.”

I disagree, my primary and most important sense is hearing. This point depends on the person and how they have developed.

I'm not using Disqus or any plugins. Starting in version 2.7, Wordpress has native support for threaded comments. It's only a matter of tweaking your theme to take advantage of the new feature.Here's an article that explains how to do it.

Luciano, are you using Disqus to add this reply feature to your comments or is it some other plugin? Very cool!

Hi Sheri,
Thanks for sharing your mind map and enriching the topic!
(I got “not authorized” messages a couple of times when trying to access it, but tried again later and was then able to get through)

Hi Luciano, just stumbled upon your blog. I’m rather amazed. I’ve been doing mind maps as a student to help me process texts I read (heres a link to a chapter of Medina’s book http://bubbl.us/view.php?sid=148246&pw=yaVWC.w6Lr12UMzJ5VTkxRWRNTUo3SQ – in one of my maps). Very cool to see what you are doing here with your blog and the use of maps. I’ll be stopping in again!
