Mark,
Very fair assessment. I agree w/ you completely, in that, your findings parallel mine.
I have been doing Mind Mapping for yrs. now, PhRing, using Silva alpha programming and 3-finger techniques, using paraliminals ...and you know what, i probably do not need this course for my memory which has increased dramatically as a result of the above mentioned programs. Plus, i have been doing the CRI holosync program for 2.5 yrs.
I do know that i have used the Anchorman List & the ABC Lists i've made very successfully for problem solving and lots of interesting things. But, like you, i think my areas of improvement w/ this course will come in my ability to problem solve & think.
Good luck to us all...
