Discover the new world with "mind map"

? Mind mapping is the masterpiece of Tony Bozan, the "world brain master". Tony Bozan is a world super writer in the field of brain and learning, and has published more than 65,438+000 monographs and co-authored works. The series of mind mapping books have been translated into 35 languages and sold well in more than 200 countries, with sales exceeding100000. 199 1 year, Mr. Tony Bozan and Raymond Keane jointly founded the World Memory Championship. Mr. Tony Bozan is also the founder of the World Brain Olympics and is called "Mr. World Brain". The "mind map" developed by Tony Bozan can be applied to any field, which broadens our memory horizon and improves our memory ability. Mind mapping is definitely a good book worth recommending!

Mind mapping is divided into five parts, namely: unlimited energy and potential of human brain, welcome to the world of mind mapping, basic application of mind mapping, advanced application of mind mapping in study, life and work, mind mapping and future.

As we all know, there are not only millions of brain cells in everyone's brain, but also about 1 trillion brain cells. There are 654.38 billion brain cells (called neurons) responsible for thinking. Attl Kouzmich Anokhin, a professor at Moscow University, published his research results after 60 years of studying the essence of brain cells. His conclusion in the article "The Formation of Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence" is this: We can prove that the number of possible connections produced by each of 1 trillion brain cells is "1" followed by 28 "0s"! If a single nerve cell has this potential, we can't imagine what the whole brain can do. This means that the total number of possible connections in the human brain, if written down, will be "1" followed by "0"1050,000 kilometers long! However, at present, no human being can bring the potential of the brain into full play. Neurophysiological research tells us that even if our brain inputs 10 pieces of data every second within 100 years, it can only account for less than110 of the brain storage. Therefore, there is no limit to the development of brain potential! The human brain has five functions-receiving, maintaining, analyzing, outputting and controlling. Receive, anything that any sensory organ feels; Maintain your memory, including memory and recall; Analysis, pattern recognition and information processing; Output, any form of contact or creative behavior, including thinking; Control, all mental and physical functions. These five achievements need to play a role at the same time in order to complete a complete thinking process. Mind mapping can simulate the thinking process of the brain, because the creation of mind mapping requires "whole brain" collaborative thinking, which is consistent with the explosive search for new connections in the brain during the brain thinking process. The human brain does not think linearly or sequentially like a computer, but its thinking is multifaceted and divergent. When we make mind maps, the trunk will extend outward to form secondary branches, encouraging the development of more content for the newly added branches-just like our brains. At the same time, because all the contents in the mind map are interrelated, association can help the brain to understand and imagine better.

? Mind mapping is an intuitive chart and a holistic thinking tool, which can be applied to all cognitive functional fields, especially memory, creation, learning and various forms of thinking. A mind map consists of a central image and branches. The central image is used to capture the main content. For example, if I want to plan a book with a mind map, I can put the picture of the book in the middle or write the title. Branches consist of key numbers or keywords printed on related lines. Branches spread around from the central image, first divided into big topics (first-level branches), and then sub-topics (second-level branches) are also displayed in the form of branches, which can be infinitely "branched", so that as long as my paper is large enough, more branches will appear. In the process of drawing mind map, the central image and branches can use words or images. Many people may think that pictures are naive, or that creating pictures is a talent of a few people. However, research shows that anyone with "normal mind" can reach the level of top students in art colleges through study. The central image or branch of mind map will be very intuitive if it is represented by images. Of course, mind mapping can also be a combination of words and images, giving full play to the dual advantages of the prominence of language vocabulary and the vividness of images.

What can mind mapping do for us?

First, mind mapping can improve memory.

Do you remember that in the examination room, there was a question you couldn't figure out the answer to? But you know what you used to know. The more you focus on the answer, the deeper it is in your brain? I know I "relaxed" my brain, and then, as easy as blowing off dust, it came out. Unfortunately, it is too late. Scientists know that if the brain is always in a state of tension, it will produce the wrong chemicals and hinder effective memory. Relaxation is the key to retrieve and create information data. The way mind map is created and completed determines that it is an ideal way to relax the brain, which allows us to think and remember effectively.

Second, mind mapping can be used for decision-making.

Most people are prone to entanglements when making decisions, especially when deciding their own development direction, choosing a major, and facing the crossroads of life, hesitating, choosing and choosing, and then hesitating. Mind mapping can make the brain immediately accept a series of complex and interrelated information, and the focus of the problem is clear at a glance. They can bring a pre-constructed framework to the brain, thus generating associations and ensuring that all relevant factors are considered. In particular, the colors and images in mind maps take into account the emotional factors of some important issues when making decisions, which helps to highlight key comparison points.

? Linear notes are often the traditional way for us to choose notes, and record the thoughts expressed in other people's speeches, books or other media. The disadvantage of linear notes is the lack of visual rhythm, visual mode or correct mode, color and imagination. If you take notes with mind map, you can see what is important and what is not, and the relationship between key concepts is clear at a glance. This is my mind map when I read the book Mind Map.

Whether we are weighing the gains and losses of a job or need to establish our own long-term goals, mind mapping can help us to straighten out our thinking to a great extent. Because mind mapping can not only give us a panoramic view, but also let us see the details and life trends clearly, and inspire us on some specific things that we are not sure we will do. This can help us explore one of the most complicated topics-ourselves in a feasible way. We can know whether our life is in an ideal position by observing our mind map, find problems and opportunities, and make plans for future happiness and success.

Of course, mind mapping has many functions, such as keeping a diary, giving a speech, operation management, creative thinking and so on. With people's concern and increasing demand for improving brain power, the role and importance of mind mapping are also increasing. We humans have countless brain cells, and mind mapping is the key to our creativity, memory and thinking ability. This is the biggest mind map in the world. It is a masterpiece of 65,438+0,860 Singaporean students, which is three stories high and four stories wide. It gradually realizes the dream of developing knowledge for all.

This is the charm of mind mapping, which records, controls and guides the other end of this model to the greatest extent, that is, the human brain operating divergent thinking. In the process of deepening our understanding of the human brain, in our growing understanding of the interconnection and relationship of the world, there is hidden our hope for the future!
