I read “The ultimate book of Mind Maps” by Tony Buzan. It is a self-help book that teaches you how you can organize your mind and work with multitasks effectively. We are all agreed that the human brain is totally different than a computer. This book teaches you how to adopt this method in your daily life.

Mind Maps take on the same structure as memory itself. Once you draw your own mind map, you rarely need to go back to it again. Mind Maps help organize your work, activities and tasks.

Yup Pak Tony Buzan ini emang pakarnya memaksimalkan fungsi otak..
Apa itu Mind Map?
adalah cara termudah untuk menempatkan informasi ke dalam otak dan mengambil informasi ke luar otak -- mind map adalah cara mencatat yg kreatif, efektif, dan secara harfiah akan "menentukan" pikiran-pikiran kita.

Menurut saya Mind Map itu :
- mencabangkan ide besar menjadi ide-ide kecil yg lebih praktis
- mengawinkan bahasa kata dengan bahasa simbol/ikon/gambar untuk memudahkan pengingatan ide-ide si mind maper

What makes this book more remarkable than a simple self help guide is the science behind it. The combination of gentle advice and enlightening scientific information was incredibly effective, it is one thing to be aware of what you are thinking but, it is quite another to be aware of how you are thinking.

An important point Buzan makes is that Mind Maps are limitless, there is always scope for further solutions and inspiration and this is encouraged to be embodied as an attitude.The book is attra...more

قرأت الكتاب بالنسخه العربية المتوفرة في جرير .
الكتاب جميل بترتيبه وفكرته إلا أن معظم الكلام شبه مكرر خاصه في الفصول الأخيره لكن أكثر فصل أثاااار دهشتي وجعلني أشكر الله مرارا وتكرارا هو الفصل الثاني حيث بدأ الكاتب بالتكلم حول المخ وقدراته العظيمه جدا ..سبحان الله
وقد طبقت فكرته حول الخرائط الذهنيه في المواد التي تكون مواضيعها متشعبه كالرياضيات مثلا فأفادتني جدا
كتاب أنصح بقراءته أو على الأقل أخذ نبذه ومعرفه بسيطه عن فكرته خاصة للمعلمين .

بعد قرائة الكتاب قمت في تطبيق الأداة في الآتي:
١. فهرس محتوى "أجندا" لورشة عمل في تطبيق استراتيجية جديدة في تنفيذ المشاريع لإدارة المشاريع في كبرى الشركات في المملكة.
٢. تحضير مقابلة شخصية لستة أشخاص في خمس دقائق و تسجيل المعلومات في خريطة العقل في صفحة و احدة لستة أشخاص.
٣. تلخيص محاضرة في إدارة المشاريع لمدة خمسة ايام في ورقة واحدة فقط!
٤. تخطيط مجال لسبع مشاريع باستخدام WBS جزء من خريطة العقل مصمم للمشاريع

هذه في اقل من شهر!!! طريقة جداً فعالة و مؤثرة . اتمنى تطبيقها في النظام التعليمي.

يبدو أن للكتاب نسختين نسخة من ترجمة جرير ونسخة من ترجمة العبيكان .. أمتلك نسخة مطابقة تماماً للنسخة الإنجليزية () ممتعة ورسوماتها مميزة وملهمه ... أفادني الكتاب دراسياً ٨٠٪ =) طريقة الخريطة الذهنية جداً فعالة.

Mind maps are a valuable idea, used by people in many fields. But after the first couple of chapters, wherein the basic idea is laid out, Buzan becomes a carnival huckster promoting the benefits of mind mapping in over-the-top language and using spurious "evidence". It's so cartoonish it would be funny if I hadn't paid good money for this.

Thanks Tony Buzan for this fantastic book.This book has completely changed the way I think,study and deal with any difficulty.
First Buzan talks about how incredible our brain is.Then how the mind maps trigger both our right and left brain and its principles and applications in our real life.Beside he tells us how our lifestyle and diet can affect our mental health.

a simple book on mind maos is sufficient. The 'ultimate' part of this is some general neuro-biology and other 'motivation' chapters which I don't think really have anything to do with Mind Maps. Nevertheless, Tony has contrived to relate everything to them.

Dissappointing. I purchased this book to learn how to use Mind Maps more effectively. The book focuses on "selling" the Mind Map idea, rather than explaining how to use Mind Maps to promote innovation and problem-solving.

Een mooi luxueus uitgegeven, geactualiseerde en meer praktisch gerichte versie van de vorige boeken van Tony Buzan over mind maps en de werking van het brein mbt geheugen, studeren, planning, creatief denken, etc.
Ik gebruik dagelijks Mindmaps om mijn chaos onder controle te krijgen. Voor mijn werk, studie, kunstplezier en onderzoek. Wie er nog niet mee werkt, mist echt iets!
Ook Buzan's boeken over geheugensystemen, snellezen enzo zijn de moeite.

It's truth in advertising, I assure you. You'll learn how to effectively use mind maps, why they're useful, why they work, and everything that goes into their creation and use. I enjoyed Buzan's perspectives on learning and his encouragement to the reader to seek out multiple ways of understanding learned material. If you've ever been curious about mind maps, I would highly recommend this book. You can probably finish it in a couple of hours.

He has worked with: corporate entities and businesses all over the world; academics; Olympic athletes; children of all ages; governments; and high profile individuals, in teaching them how to maximize the use of their brain power.

Buzan was born in London, is an alumnus of Kitsilano Secondary School, and received double honors in psychology, English, mathematics and the General Sciences from the University of British Columbia in 1964. He is probably best known for his book, Use Your Head, his promotion of mnemonic systems and his Mind Mapping techniques. He launched his own software program to support mind mapping called iMindMap in December 2006. His website, Buzan World, cites trademarks on the phrase 'Mind Maps' which he has registered in many countries.

Following his 1970s series for the BBC, many of his ideas have been set into his series of five books: Use Your Memory, Master Your Memory, Use Your Head, The Speed Reading Book and The Mind Map Book. He has since authored or co-authored over 100 books.

Most of his teaching generally divides up into: general awareness of the extensive capabilities and capacities of the brain and its functions, memory skills, reading skills, Mind Map note-taking and note-making, creativity, and how brain function can be improved over time into old age.

Buzan developed Mind Mapping whilst at university, out of the frustration that traditional notes took up so much time to create and review. He has argued that Mind Maps are an efficient way to take notes from lectures or books. His brother Barry Buzan, who co-wrote The Mind Map Book, suggested the technique could also be used to capture notes from one's own creative ideas and is useful in business.

As a popular psychology author, Tony Buzan has written on subjects relating to the brain, genius quotient (GQ), spiritual intelligence, memory, creativity and speed reading. He is the founder and President of the Brain Foundation (not to be confused with various medical-related bodies with the same name) and also the Brain Trust Charity, the World Memory Championships and the World Championships of the Brain. He was a co-founder of London's Mind Body Spirit Festival as well as the Mind Sports Olympiad.(less)
