The Mind Map Book: Radiant Thinking
may be the most important book published this century for
anyone who wishes to use his or her brain to its full potential.
It is the only book that both explains the fundamental operation
of the human brain in terms of its thinking processes and
explains how to unleash and harness its untapped power.
The Mind Map Book: Radiant Thinking
is a comprehensive guide to Mind Maps®, a revolutionary
method of accessing intelligence, developed over many years
by Tony Buzan and his brother Barry. Mind Mapping is relevant
to absolutely everyone, as the technique offers exciting
new ways of using and improving memory, concentration and
creativity in planning and structuring thought on all levels.
This special revised edition celebrates the 21st Birthday
of the formal introduction of Mind Maps to the world by
the BBC and the author in the spring of 1974.
A key goal for all individuals, especially
those in business and education communities, is to accelerate
their ability to learn, remember and record information.
A Mind Map's radiating structure, reflecting the natural
architecture of the brain, allows rapid expansion and exploration
of an idea in note form, resulting in a clear and concise
picture or map of all the relevant interlinked points for
inclusion in further written matter, presentations and reports.
Thus, an idea can be quickly and profoundly explored while
simultaneously maintaining clear focus on the central theme.
By incorporating the use of shapes, colours and dimensions
as visual stimulants, the Mind Mapping technique allows
you to make the best use of all your considerable mental
resources.
The Mind Map Book is destined to
become a classic in the new and exciting field of Radiant
Thinking. In addition to helping you to maximize your brain
power, the book also features a range of stimulating exercises
and a lavish and inspirational collection of photographs
and original Mind Maps which illustrate the technique.
