The Memory Book

Author: Tony Buzan

Buzan jumped from his seat, rushed out of the hall, and caught up with the professor in the corridor, asking him, "How did you do that, sir?!" The professor replied in the same arrogant manner, "I, my boy, am a genius!" He turned away again, not hearing the student's mumbled reply, "Yes, sir, I know, but still, how did you do that?!" For two months, the student continued to bother the "genius," who eventually befriended him and secretly explained to him in the hall the "magic formula" for building the memory system that had so impressed the students on that momentous first day. Over the next twenty years, the student devoured every book he could find on memory, creativity, and the nature of the human brain, constantly keeping in mind the vision of creating extraordinary memory systems that surpassed what his professor had achieved. The first of these systems was the Mind Map for memory, a versatile thinking tool for the brain, which not only allowed the user to remember accurately and flexibly but also enabled them to create, plan, think, learn, and communicate based on that memory. After the Mind Map came the Super-Matrix Memory System; a giant, enjoyable, and easy-to-use system that serves as a massive database allowing individuals instant access to any key information structure important and necessary for them.
