I was introduced to mind-mapping by Tony Buzan way back in 1993 when I bought his book “Use Your Head”. That was a major turning point in my mental development. Don’t let the unassuming title of that book deceive you. Fact is, most people DO NOT use their head. Use it, by following the techniques that Buzan describes, and you will see profound changes in the way you perceive things, and as a result, your life.
