Tony Buzan

Tony Buzan (1942-) is a proponent of the techniques of mind mapping and mental literacy. He was born in London, is an alumnus of Kitsilano Secondary School, and received double Honours 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, claims a trademark on the phrase 'Mind Maps.'

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, 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. 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.

Buzan and his followers claim that his techniques can dramatically improve study performance and results. Critics can say that Mindmaps can have limitations as well and may not be suitable for all types of information or solve all problems related to learning. Also, there are numerous historical references to concepts resembling Mindmaps but under different names (e.g. Spidergrams). Therefore Buzan may not truly be the "inventor" of Mindmaps but the first person who systematically and successfully marketed and exploited this learning technique in commercial terms.
