The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures. By Dan Roam

Great fun to read. I did not benefit too much from the book as I am an avid "chart-guy" from my academic formation (deformation?).

There is one appendix though that has a light description of how our brain processes visual information; and makes a remarkable comment about how to feed that information so that it can get better captured.

Visual Intelligence is a discipline that should be cultivated in greater depth.

I think that the book would be an excellent stepping stone for those that are not picture-friendly in their narrative/presentation/analysis, etc.

I strongly endorse the "one picture worth more than a thousand words". This book can set you off in that direction if you are not there already.
