You could mind map each chapter of a book and, then 'join' them together to create a super mind map.

You can use the table of contents to help you.

Forget the mind map for a second. If you had to describe to somebody in 10 keywords what you have just read - what are those keywords? That's your mind map. Mindmaps can also include images.

Mindmaps follow the 80/20 rule. What 20% covers 80% of the book?



And in case I want to retain the maximum amount of information I can from a book, what do I have to do?
