Buzan Bites...
16 Aug 06

The twenty-first century has been called The Century of the Brain. At the forefront of this is Tony Buzan, the world’s leading authority on memory, who The Times predicted would: “… do for the brain what Stephen Hawking did for the universe."

As a young boy Tony Buzan was assured by his teachers that he couldn’t improve his (already above average) reading speed. That made no sense to him. Surely if he could improve his physical fitness through exercise, he could do the same for his mental agility.

As we now know, he was more than right. The quest for maximising the potential of his mind has led to the development of the world’s most powerful memory tools. These tools enable all of us to harness the power of our amazing brains.

Tony Buzan believes that we have: “entered an extremely invigorating time of discovery and cerebral awakening.” His mission is to unlock the power of our brains, showing us how to tap into and use our creative genius with ease.

To help him achieve this, he has written a number of bestselling books (sold in over 100 countries and translated into 30 languages), as well as appearing on TV and Radio shows for the BBC, ITV and numerous satellite channels.

He knows that, old or young, everyone has the potential to be a memory champion. It’s just a matter of understanding how the mind works and having some fun giving your brain a workout to achieve maximum performance.

he new Buzan Bites series distils Tony’s best-known techniques into smart books, ideal for time-starved people. They combine the most powerful tips from The Mind Set series (also re-launching 7 August), which includes the bestsellers Use Your Head, Use your Memory, Master Your Memory, The Mind Map Book, The Speed Reading Book, The Illustrated Mind Map Book and Embracing Change.
