Who is Tony Buzan?

Google ‘Tony Buzan’ and more than 700,000 pages of information appear. For ‘Mind Map’ the results are an astonishing 124 million pages. Search in Yahoo and the number of pages jump to over a Million on Tony and 190,000,000 on Mind Map. But this is still a mere hint of the popularity and global reach of the Mind Map concept - and the impact Tony Buzan has created around his inspirational learning tool, which has been seen by over two billion people worldwide, and which has already been used by hundreds of millions. It has been calculated that every second of every day, someone somewhere in the world is creating a Mind Map!

In schools, colleges, businesses and homes from Chile to China, people of all ages, backgrounds and ability now use Mind Maps to learn, memorise, plan, think and create. It is a mind-expanding technique that, once learned, has the capacity to change lives, Buzan says: “People can be successful using only 10% of the cognitive potential of their brains. Mind Mapping is capable of unleashing the power of the other 90% and tapping into latent genius. When people look back on how they were operating before they learned to Mind Map, they say it is as if they were working in the dark using the wrong tools.”
