The Power of a Mind to Map: Tony Buzan at TEDxSquareMile 

They should be teaching this in schools, children need this knowledge.

I feel as the luckiest person to live during such brilliant blooming mind season! During 37 years I felt as a disorganized person because I could´t manage all my knowledge. However, since my 1st time using Mind Maps, I´ve just got completed 35th course in the last 12months only! Each day I´ll be able of contributing more and more for our Planet! Thank you so much Mr Tony Buzan! Maybe one day I´ll be able of really express how glad I really am! Gratitute!

Thanks TEDx for capturing Tony at his best. As the Buzan Centre in Australia since 2001, we know how special his goal of Global Mental Literacy is, and it's why we support it and his work.

Wow ! a Life time of work summarised in under 20 minutes - this is a MUST WATCH Video

Thank you, Tony. You've opened doors for all of us.

Mindmaps are amazing. It has opened up so many new worlds of notetaking, memory retention and brain storming for us.

One of the calmest Ted videos I have ever seen ! What a genius he is !

Tony Buzan is a legend. His work has helped me when I was younger in school with GCSEs and A Levels.

So smart and articulate. Fabulous speaker as well. Thank you Buzan.

This video brought tears to my eyes. We all were babies as genius scientists, and we still are.

He is a true Genius and has liberated so many minds to actually start using them to their full potential. What a gift to humanity.

Excellent, thought provoking, speech. As Tony said, we now live in the Intelligent Age but people and societies alike need to behave intelligently to create an intelligent world. This is not a top-down dictum but an emergent phenomenon. The more people use meta-tools such as Mind Maps, the greater the chance of creating an Intelligence Revolution!

Amazing! All the human brains connected in a master mind way could reach the stars and beyond

Very efficient method to organize the information whenever we suffer any information overload, it helps us in knowledge management . Mind maps are really effective in learning, remembering by using our imagination associated with anything that our mind aspire in a very creative manner that helps us to remember for long and boost our creativity too.

Thank you all Teachers and Parents should be teaching this in schools,and at home parents and children should practice this knowledge.

Thank you Sir for your gift to the world.

This has been very helpful in unlocking hidden potential, The brain and mind has so much potential that is supressed.

Respect for TED, the real school

Brilliant the idea of mind mapping is really genius to control our minds

I hope Tony Buzan is correct when he says we will now begin to think intelligently. It seems to me that, with the speed of information and the loss of the buffer of time so desperately needed by our brains for reflection and study, we will rely more and more on AI and less on our own innate ability to reason, consider and make decisions which include our own feelings and emotions. The power of feelings and emotions should never be underestimated, their impact on us is faster and stronger than that of thought. As a stress specialist, I see much of today's mental, emotional and physical demise due to the sheer speed of ICT combined with the lack of time which in turn creates inner head/heart conflict, dis-ease.

Tony Buzan! Outstanding.

Great stuff... I'll pass this to my brothers and kids.

Not even 1M views with 28M subscribers for such a thoughtfully mapped speech

He is a GREAT man!

Wow ... this speech inspired me! I can do more than I thought!

astounding and brilliant mind sir...

I heard of this man when I was reading Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer.

THE POWER OF INTELLIGENCE … THE POWER OF YOU!

Years ago I took a course on teaching and they used what was called people mapping and it went around to how you think and how you want to present anything in lecture form so this is very close to what the professor here is talking about

A legend of this era no doubt about it

Mind mapping is the best way to learn and remember what you learn in a short time especially for students , so I advice you to learn its basics.

Excellent presentation!

Literally really loved it! ❤

concept mapping had been used by most thinkers since time immemorial with or without the use of paper or computer. This is the reason why ancient, medieval thinkers were so sharp because of their habit of organizing mentally like nodes/branches their knowledge radiating from their central thought. Less writing materials, more ideas generated. Thus, Literature masterpieces, original ideas were born out of this discipline of concept mapping. Nowadays, because of over supply of writing materials, apps, and tools--less deep thoughts because people rely on what is available on the net.

I believe in this Man's philosophy of global mental literacy, though he be dead, his works live on, of which I am one

inspirational guy, logic and very interesting

RIP Buzan

this is a gift for me

this was thought provoking - how we can be free to think like children

good thank you teacher god bless you

Covid-19 quarantine brought me here. March 22, 2020.

I remember being tested for gifted learning somewhere around third grade. This person came to my school, pulled me out of class and asked me about what I liked to do. I said the usual stuff.. play video games, play sports, etc. I went back to class and that was that. I was “not gifted” according to this person. A couple years later, I was pulled out of class again for the “gifted” test. This time, a different person asked me to write a story about something mundane. Cups in a cupboard or something like that. I made up a story about the “accidental invention of the trumpet” and passed the “gifted” test with flying colors. This, and Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” have a lot to say about how creativity is beaten out of us and how we can get it back.

Amazing!

great! manage the manager of knowledge

Without you I was lost, but you gave me the right map in order to succeed

very useful...thanks a lot :)

Thank you, All the flowers are beautiful All the babies are beautiful

I really felt every word he said. Like after watching this I feel like going to have an experiment again and unleash the scientist in me 😂😂😂

Mind opening indeed! It’s a blessing and a privilege to watch such a revered person.

WONDERFUL

I thought that I am going to waste my time watching some pointless video, man I was wrong. I loved watching it.

That's amazing!

We have crushed We have retrained

RIP, genius!

Very nice program

Beautiful 🌼

Superb sir, miss you

Good speech.

Beautiful

رائع أستاذى

very good information

Awesome Speech😉😊

Great speach. Congratulations.

I've always observed what he's saying about daydreaming and thinking like an act of science in children and as a necessity for myself and others all my life, but was a lot of the times ashamed or even afraid to show it or confirm its usefulness.

Excellent

great video

Great to see Tony on TED ! Dharmendra Rai, Mumbai 's First Mind Map Trainer, Trained by Tony Buzan Himself !

loved it when he chewed the paper... such fun ^_^

Amazing😍

amazing

so true

Nuestro cerebro tiende a buscar tanto el patrón o diseño como la terminación, y son los mapas mentales los que satisfacen esa tendencia

How can we use mind maps for problem solving? I've done some experiments - here's a short summary. I use the following three building blocks, which I can combine in different ways. Building block 1 - the sheet layout: I use an A4 sheet in landscape format and divide it in 3x3 boxes of equal size - there's no need for exactness and I do it without a ruler. Alternatively, I can use 3 columns and make boxes of different sizes - but at the beginning, 3x3 boxes are easier to handle. I fill the boxes in column 1, then in column 2 and then in column 3. Building block 2 - the box layout: I use each box for a simple small mind map. The size limit of the box will come as a surprise, but it has a number of advantages which I will describe in a moment. Instead of mind maps, I can use diagrams, ordinary text with indentations or math terms. Building block 3 - thinking tools: I can use thinking tools as topics for the small mind maps, to stimulate my thinking about the problem, like: What are key questions? What are my options? How can I split the problem into smaller parts? I find a personal collection of thinking tools very useful - I have a corkboard over my work table and can access dozens of tools and stimuli with one glance. For me, this process has four main advantages. First, a conventional mind maps works best with a couple of main branches of equal size. In problem solving however, I often want to develop only one or two branches over many steps, and this leads to an unsymmetrical, unbalanced mind map. Secondly, moving from one box to the next needs a moment of orientation - where do I stand, and what can I do next? This re-orientation happens much more often in the 3x3 layout than in an ordinary mind map. Thirdly, I find it easier to reflect on a previous thought in a new box than in a branch of an ordinary mind map. Fourth, the combination of mind maps and thinking tools seems very powerful to me. Some remarks: Depending on handwriting size, paper size and personal taste, we can experiment with 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 boxes. As a fourth building block I'm using a zettelkasten to organize my sheets - but that's outside the scope of this comment.

To those of you who got this to work; Which specific sources did you use to learn mind mapping? There are so many resources out there from a Google search and I'd like to save time finding the good ones.

Your narrative is a captivating journey; much like a book that was a captivating journey. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Author Name

i first bought Tony Buzans Book 'Use your head' in 1989

Do you have any ideas for dyslexia connecting on paper. When you have a disconnection how can you make that connect.

Dear Tony, you really don't have to raise your voice like that, I almost fell off my chair.
