How To Mind Map: The Ultimate Thinking

Our brain is said to be made of 1,000,000,000,000 cells. How does our brain receive signals, initiate actions, think, analyse and direct at the same time? How To Mind Map: The Thinking Tool That Will Change Your Life by Tony Buzan reveals how. The workings of the brain do not happen through communication using words, as we assume. It is carried through in pictures and colors. Buzan's technique breaks down the process by creating a flow chart. This chart will aid in organizing, planning thoughts and creating new ones. An example for the brain's process given in the book is as follows. When you think of an apple, the first thing that comes up in your mind is a basket of fruits. From there, Buzan guides us to create a map of sorts. From a patch of yellow or red, you proceed to think of a basket of apples or oranges, a woman carrying a basket, a tree, a beach where you lounge under a fruit tree, a glass of ice cold juice, a half-eaten apple, a bunch of bananas, and so on and so forth.
