Mind mapping with
Tony Buzan |
|
By Polly Obusan
Coming face to face with the man
hailed to be the holder of the world’s highest IQ is most
certainly an unusual way to spend one lazy Saturday afternoon. But
nothing is most certainly usual with the man, considered as the
world’s top guru on mind power and creativity, as well as the
originator of Mind Maps and pioneer of the mental literacy concept.
Tony Buzan is an international best-selling author of more than 90
books translated in 32 languages and published in 125 countries,
most notable of which is the best seller Use Your Head which
promotes the use of mnemonic systems and his very own mind-mapping
techniques. Other best-selling titles to his name include the series
of books: Use Your Memory, Master Your Memory, The Speed Reading
Book and The Mind Map Book.
For the past 30 years, Buzan has
been traveling all over the world for the main purpose of helping
people unlock and discover their creative intelligence and providing
them with tools to properly use it. He has spoken to a broad
spectrum of audiences, from 5-year-old preschoolers to university
students to industry giants and world leaders, each time with the
same passion and dedication to share techniques on how to use
creative brainpower as a means to improve one’s professional and
personal life.

in the past
|
|
