Over a period of 10 years, we have composed individual brainstorming Mind Maps, and then met and interlinked our two sets of ideas. After deep discussion, we have incubated and blended the next set of ideas, spent time observing natural phenomena, individually Mind Mapped our conceptions of the next stage, and once again met in order to compare and move on.
The Mind Map of the complete book generated the individual Mind Maps for the chapters, each Mind Map forming the basis for the text of that chapter. The process has given new meaning to the word ‘brother’, and especially to the word ‘brotherhood’. Even as we were writing about it, we realised that we
ourselves had created a group mind that contained all the elements of our individual minds as well as the explosively synergetic results of their meeting.
We hope that The Mind Map Book gives you the same thrill of discovery, excitement in exploration, and sheer delight in the creative generation of ideas lam communication with the universe of another human being that we have ourselves experienced.
The history of human intelligence can be seen as the brain’s search for ways of communicating effectively with itself.
When the first human made the first line, a revolution in human consciousness was precipitated, of which the Mind Map is the latest developmental stage. (For an in-depth discussion, see Lorraine Gill’s paper, ‘Line is manmade’.)
Once human beings realised that they could externalise their internal ‘mental pictures’, development was rapid. The first marks evolved into pictures, beginning with the early Australian Aboriginal cave paintings. As civilisations developed, pictures were condensed into symbols and thence into alphabets and scripts, such as Chinese characters or Egyptian hieroglyphics. With the development of Western thought and the spreading influence of the Roman Empire, the transition from picture to letter was complete. Subsequently, for 2000 years the not inconsiderable power of the letter held evolutionary sway over the momentarily derided image.
Tony Buzan, the leading authority on the brain and learning techniques, is Chairman of the Brain Foundation. An international media personality, founder of the Brain Trust charity, and the originator of Mind Maps, he is the author of fifteen books, including Use Both Sides of Your Brain, Use Your Perfect Memory, and Speed Reading (all available in Plume editions). He is also an Olympic coach.
