Mind maps - spider diagrams showing subtopics radiating out from a
central point - are, Buzan claims, the 'ultimate organizational
thinking tool', using the brain's natural thinking processes to
help us learn and remember. Buzan is the master of this technique,
and here he explains very simply how the brain actually thinks,
what mind maps are and how easy they are to construct and use.
Suppose you are planning a holiday. You should set down all the
basics, possibilities and things you must remember not in a linear
way like a list, but with spidery drawings that do indeed look like
street maps. In the centre of the map would be the subject,
'holiday', and radiating out from it all the things we must
remember. Like this, we can encapsulate all we need to be aware of
and be sure not to miss anything out. Simple as they are, can mind
maps actually make the radical difference to our lives that the
author promises? Apparently they can save us time and both organize
and clarify our thinking in ways other methods cannot. And as it's
so easy to construct a map, it's certainly worth a try. Public
speakers can benefit from this technique, and so can students
taking notes at a lecture. Often people lose concentration and fall
asleep during a talk, because the mind gets bored and simply
switches off. Using mind-maps as a note-taking aid will keep the
mind lively and attentive. From the simplest shopping list to
planning the week ahead or reminding ourselves what to say in an
important phone call, mind maps are the answer. Tony Buzan's system
has been around a long time and has many advocates. This small book
is easy enough to read over coffee, and the technique is certainly
worth a try. (Kirkus UK)
