Chuck Frey has been promising everyone a new e-book for some time, and now it’s here.  It even has its own domain name: MindMappingManifesto.com

Chuck has gathered in one place research from disparate sources, to show how today’s knowledge worker has new challenges, and how many have not found the tools to cope.  In the Mind Mapping Manifesto, he sets out to unblock this logjam.

If you are not mind mapping now, I urge you to read this manifesto.  If it appeals, you won’t regret it if you start as soon as you have read it.

I spend a lot of time commenting on blogs all over the web, spreading the word about how flexible this thinking technique is and telling readers about the software that can be used.  Chuck’s e-book is a valuable supporting tool in the same cause.  It gives good specifics, with examples, on the many varied types of use to which mind mappers put the technique.

Great stuff Chuck!
