Mental Literacy - The Mind Map Book

The Mind Map Book

"As knowledge of the alphabet and its permutations and combinations is to traditional literacy, and as a knowledge of numbers and their permutations and combinations is to mathematics, so a knowledge of the biological and conceptual alphabets of the brain and its apparently infinite permutations and combinations is to mental literacy."
"The world is historically mentally illiterate."
"Even traditionally well educated and literate individuals are significantly restricted by the fact that they are able to use only a fraction of the biological and conceptual thinking tools which are available (the mind map)."
The Mind Map Book, Buzan and Buzan 1991

Famous quotes containing the words mind, map and/or book:

    I do not regret my not having seen this before, since I now saw it under circumstances so favorable. I was in just the frame of mind to see something wonderful, and this was a phenomenon adequate to my circumstances and expectation, and it put me on the alert to see more like it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In thy face I see
    The map of honor, truth, and loyalty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And she straiked me three times o’er her knee;
    She changed me again to my ain proper shape,
    And I nae mair maun toddle about the tree.
    —Unknown. Alison Gross. . .
