Tony Buzan
Buzan is the name behind Mind Mapping. Since he wrote his first books in
the late 1960's and early 1970's Buzan's name has been synonomous with
Mind Mapping. There is no doubt that his books and lecture tours have
popularised the technique to the extent that Mind Maps are now used
throughout the world for a wide variety of purposes.
Although it was Buzan who first used the term and set out his 'laws of
Mind Mapping', he himself was building on a lineage of using patterns,
pictures, colour and association, that stretches back thousands of
years. Those ideas are universal but in many cultures many people were
no longer benefiting from them and when Buzan introduced the codified
technique of Mind Mapping, it struck a chord with many.
Buzan has written and co-written many books about 'the brain and how to
use it more effectively. Most notable in this regard are 'Use Your
Head', 'Make the Most of Your Mind' and 'The Mind Map Book' - and whilst
many of his books repeat the messages about how to Mind Map and how to
use Mind Mapping, his tireless efforts to promote 'Buzan's Mind Mapping'
have led to millions of people using and benefiting from the technique.
