#note/sourcereview/article | #note/sourcereview/book| #source/book📚/ingested ## What is the thesis? Mind Maps are the most amazing invention of the history of humanity. ## Am I convinced and why? I am not, I believe they have a limited utility. ## The outline: ### 1. What Is a Mind Map? - [[radiant thinking]] - Brain holds ideas from a central theme with interconnected network of ideas - mind maps are representatives of the way our brains think: - ancient cave paintings - "natural" ways of being our best humans - Leonardo Da Vinci - Einstein - Feynman - users of mind map like systems - When to Mind Map - taking notes - sketching ideas - planning a vacation - giving a presentation - working on a relationship ### 2. How to Mind Map - [[Creating]] memorable [[emergence]] of ideas - Start with one word stems - approx 5-9 stems - [[cognitive load]] - color - images - 🤑 emoji - Trigger questions - When - How - What - Why not - Who - Where ### 3. What Is Not a Mind Map? This chapter was a ridiculous attempt to split spider maps, mind maps, concept diagrams, etc. Not particularly useful ### 4. Solution Finding Might use this chapter for some trigger questions, but really not too much here that is useful. ### 5. The Infinite Applications of Mind Maps Over self-aggrandized notions of changing the world through mind maps ### 6. The Future of Mind Mapping Here we are just off the rails ## When do I want to stumble across this? _I do not suggest this book. There may be others that are on Mind Maps that are useful, this was not._ ## Source: Buzan, T., & O’Brien, D.
