٢. تحضير مقابلة شخصية لستة أشخاص في خمس دقائق و تسجيل المعلومات في خريطة العقل في صفحة و احدة لستة أشخاص.

I read “The ultimate book of Mind Maps” by Tony Buzan. It is a self-help book that teaches you how you can organize your mind and work with multitasks effectively. We are all agreed that the human brain is totally different than a computer. This book teaches you how to adopt this method in your daily life.

Mind Maps take on the same structure as memory itself. Once you draw your own mind map, you rarely need to go back to it again. Mind Maps help organize your work, activities and tasks.

To start to draw your own mind map, first you have to start in the center of the page, adding your main idea. From the main idea you draw arrows outward in all directions, producing a growing and organized structure composed of key words and key images. You might use key words, colors, symbols, icons, arrows to help you remember your own map.

Now Tony Buzan has established online mind maps so it is easy for everyone to create his or her own visual plan. It is for everyone; businessmen, students or individuals.

I strongly advise all my colleagues to read this book and to createtheir own mind map. It will help them to be more organized. Personally I tried it(*blow chart) and it was very useful to reach my goal.

قرأت الكتاب بالنسخه العربية المتوفرة في جرير .
الكتاب جميل بترتيبه وفكرته إلا أن معظم الكلام شبه مكرر خاصه في الفصول الأخيره لكن أكثر فصل أثاااار دهشتي وجعلني أشكر الله مرارا وتكرارا هو الفصل الثاني حيث بدأ الكاتب بالتكلم حول المخ وقدراته العظيمه جدا ..سبحان الله
وقد طبقت فكرته حول الخرائط الذهنيه في المواد التي تكون مواضيعها متشعبه كالرياضيات مثلا فأفادتني جدا
كتاب أنصح بقراءته أو على الأقل أخذ نبذه ومعرفه بسيطه عن فكرته خاصة للمعلمين .

Mind maps are great. This book is not.

[Mark Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad. Like many books of this nature, could have been a long essay. Had to stretch it quite a bit to get a book out of it. Skim it and get what you need.

Thanks Tony Buzan for this fantastic book.This book has completely changed the way I think,study and deal with any difficulty.
First Buzan talks about how incredible our brain is.Then how the mind maps trigger both our right and left brain and its principles and applications in our real life.Beside he tells us how our lifestyle and diet can affect our mental health.
I applied this technique in my studies(I'm a med student btw) and the outcomes were impressive.I could stuff my brain with massive amount of tricky information without getting confused.Beside it's amusing so never feel bored while studying,and when revision I could recall info smoothly without any trouble.
If you are a high school student or at college then learn it,a father then learn your kids to use it,a manager use it in your company.
It's really worth :)

يبدو أن للكتاب نسختين نسخة من ترجمة جرير ونسخة من ترجمة العبيكان .. أمتلك نسخة مطابقة تماماً للنسخة الإنجليزية () ممتعة ورسوماتها مميزة وملهمه ... أفادني الكتاب دراسياً ٨٠٪ =) طريقة الخريطة الذهنية جداً فعالة.

[Erik · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dissappointing. I purchased this book to learn how to use Mind Maps more effectively. The book focuses on "selling" the Mind Map idea, rather than explaining how to use Mind Maps to promote innovation and problem-solving.

نبشت عن هذا الكتاب بعد عن قرأتي لفصل قصير عن خرائط العقل لنفس الكاتب في كتابة الرائع كتاب القراءة السريعة.
من أهم خواص خرائط العقل انها تساعدك على حفظ أي معلومات تريدها بسهولة فهي تشرك الفص الايمن من الدماغ (المسؤول عن الخيال والالوان والصور) مع الفص الأيسر (المسؤول عن التحيليل والحسابات والمنطق) وبذلك تضاعف القدرة العقلية على الحفظ، كذلك تسهل ترتيب افكارك والتركيز عليها كما تعطيك صورة شاملة للموضوع. أما الفائدة الأكبر منها أنه بإمكانك تفعيلها في أي جانب من جوانب الحياة.

ينقسم الكتاب بين ضفتيه الى ستة فصول ذهنية :

-الفصل الأول: يشرح كيفية عمل خرائط ذهنية بالطريقة المثلى وأشهر من استخدمها

-الفصل الثاني: يتكلم بصورة عامة عن القدرك المهولة للمخ والاعجاز الخلقي فيه!

-الفصل الثالث: يخبرنا عن معادلة النجاح TEFCAS

-الفصل الرابع: يذكر بعض التمارين العقلية التي تزيد الاستيعاب والقوة الذهنية (معلومات مهمة للدارسين)

-الفصل الخامس: يوضح العلاقة الوطيدة بين القوة البدنية والقوة الذهنية بصورة جميلة جدًا.

-أما الفصل الأخير: يذكر بعض الأمثلة لإستخدام الخرائط الذهنية في أرض الواقع

بقراءتك هذا الكتاب ستمتلك بين يديك أداة تفكير تستطيع تغير طريقة تفكيرك إلى الأبد وتشجعك لإنجاز أهدافك ولكن ذلك لن يحدث إلا بالتطبيق والإستمرار

الكتاب صغير لكنه مفيد
اسلوب الكتاب مبسط و سهل الفهم و لاحظت استخدام الإيحاء الإيجابي لبرمجة عقل القارئ على استخدام الخرائط.
في البداية يسرد معلومات عن أصل خرائط العقل ، فائدتها و استخداماتها
و بعدها يتوسع في طريقة عملها باسلوب بسيط و سهل التطبيق و يعزز الطريقة بمعلومات عن تجارب محفزه لاستخدامها.
الكتاب ككل ممتع و مفيد
أنصح المهتمين بتنظيم أفكارهم و معلوماتهم بأسلوب ذكي لقراءته و تطبيق محتواه.

pandeminin monotonluğundan kurtulmak adına katıldığım çevrim içi eğitimlerden birinin konusu, bu kitabın da adı olan Zihin Haritaları’ydı. dinlerken basitliği ve kullanışlılığı açısından çok ilgimi çekmişti çünkü bilenler bilir, ben bir planlama manyağıyım. hatta planlama bağımlısıyım da denilebilir. kafamdakileri kağıt üzerinde görmeye ihtiyaç duyarım. işte bu noktada, bu sistem benim için ihtiyaç olan ama yöntem nedeniyle angaryaya dönüşen notlama/planlama işlerime nefes oldu.

Dalam salah satu kesempatan diskusi di grup whatsapp LoveBooksALotId, mas Yayan Sofyan mengangkat tema mengenai metode mind map ini. Jujur sebelumnya saya kurang familiar dengan metode ini, but soon after a few examples, I know that mind map very helpful for us to organize and plan something.

Metode mind map ini merupakan metode yang membantu otak agar berpikir lebih teratur. Mind map sangat membantu dalam berbagai hal seperti dalam merencanakan, berkomunikasi, menjadi lebih kreatif, menghemat waktu, menyelesaikan masalah, memusatkan perhatian, menyusun dan menjelaskan pikiran-pikiran, mengingat lebih baik, belajar lebih cepat dan efisien, dan melihat 'gambar keseluruhan' dari konsep atau rencana.

Dan Buku Pintar Mind Map dari Tony Buzan ini sangat membantu kita untuk mengerti akan aturan dasar dari mind map ini dan bagaimana mengaplikasikannya.

"Gagasan tidak jatuh dari langit, gagasan datang dari manusia. Manusia membuat perangkat lunak. Manusia merancang produk. Manusia memulai bisnis baru. setiap pemikiran baru yang memberi kesenangan atau produktivitas atau kemudahan, apakah itu ipod atau program yang membuat pabrik kimia lebih efisien, adalah hasil kecerdasan manusia" - Harvard Business Review

Yup Pak Tony Buzan ini emang pakarnya memaksimalkan fungsi otak..
Apa itu Mind Map?
adalah cara termudah untuk menempatkan informasi ke dalam otak dan mengambil informasi ke luar otak -- mind map adalah cara mencatat yg kreatif, efektif, dan secara harfiah akan "menentukan" pikiran-pikiran kita.

Menurut saya Mind Map itu :
- mencabangkan ide besar menjadi ide-ide kecil yg lebih praktis
- mengawinkan bahasa kata dengan bahasa simbol/ikon/gambar untuk memudahkan pengingatan ide-ide si mind maper
- karya seni hasil perpaduan dua belahan otak.
- gampang2 susah juga untuk dibuat. practices makes perfect!

Cocok untuk:
- tukang jual ide, tukang ngajar, tukang dagang,tukang tani...
- manusia galau yg ingin keluar dari kegalauan nya dg cara sendiri
- pengelana dan petualang yg pelupa
- peng analisa fenomena sosial Indonesia yg rumit dan njelimet.
- dst


Menjadi ahli Mind Map, just do it!

Bu kitap özel ya da iş yaşantınızda, hafızayı toparlamayı, hedeflerinizi belirlemenizi, hayal gücünü geliştirmenizi, beyin fırtınası yapmanızı, proje takibini, ekip yönetimini, problem çözümünü sağlıyor bunu Tony Buzan düz yazı şeklinde alınan notlar yerine görselliğin daha ön plana çıktığı zihin haritaları kullanarak yaptırıyor, haritalarda bir sayfa üzerinde bir konunun bütününe bakabiliyoruz, beynimiz de böyle çalışıyor, bu yöntemi kesinlikle sevdiğim herkese her fırsatta tavsiye ediyorum ve edeceğim..

I read 2.5 books of Tony's books, and I can say he is a scammer.
Tony always has a point and good idea that can be explained in a typical article of 2 pages, but he extend it into a book of 200 pages, you ask how? Easy, by including fillers, this book is about mind maps, let's talk about the evolution of brain and its parts and how it works. Talk about how "mind maps make you physically better" - he said it - and talk about fitness and sport.

Read the first and last chapters only, and the rest is not even related to mind maps.

[Jake Losh · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's truth in advertising, I assure you. You'll learn how to effectively use mind maps, why they're useful, why they work, and everything that goes into their creation and use. I enjoyed Buzan's perspectives on learning and his encouragement to the reader to seek out multiple ways of understanding learned material. If you've ever been curious about mind maps, I would highly recommend this book. You can probably finish it in a couple of hours.

[Sugandha Rajpal · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the concept of mind maps shared by Tony in his books. Basically mind maps helps you memorize lot many details diagrammatically and categorically which eventually will help you plan your personal and professional life better. Creating Mind Maps is going to be an easy piece of cake as there are plenty of softwares available out there on the web to help you implement the mind map in your life. I'm looking forward to implement these in my own life.

[Paul Rush · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mind maps are a valuable idea, used by people in many fields. But after the first couple of chapters, wherein the basic idea is laid out, Buzan becomes a carnival huckster promoting the benefits of mind mapping in over-the-top language and using spurious "evidence". It's so cartoonish it would be funny if I hadn't paid good money for this.

[Eri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading & understanding it, juzt ain't enough without implementing and practising routinely what Tony has advised to us in this book.

يتكلم عن العقل والذكاء والخرائط الذهنية وأهميتها وكيف نستخدمها بجميع جوانب حياتنا مو بس بالدراسة، أعجبني تعزيز المعلومات بالدراسات والحقائق العلمية.

Chock full of examples to demonstrate the idea behind mind maps, this book helped me to realise mind maps don't necessarily have to be limited to academia.

[Islam Ahmed · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really great book with amazing graphic, detailing and examples. The book however seems quite repetitive, and frankly only about two to three concepts are being discussed in the whole book and if I can be more cautious really one, which the writer try reconfirm the importance of using our Brain the way it likes to be used which is through brain maps.

I would definitely recommend reading it for everyone that hasn't set a specific strategy for their thinking and trying to explore a better way to rearrange their lives and use the best of it.

Peace!

Bazı kitaplar vardır, ara vermiş olsanız bile ihtiyacınız olduğu anda kendini bitirtirler. İşte bu kitabın benim için hikayesi bu. İçerisinde insan beyninin ve hafızasının çalışma prensipleri ile ilgili güzel bilgiler buldum, yeni not alma teknikleri keşfettim. Benim için kitabın tek kötü yanı, bazı bölümlerin kendini tekrarlaması ve kitabın sonunda yazarın piyasaya sunduğu yazılımın reklamını yapması. Bu ikisi olmasaydı 5 yıldızlı bir kitaptı.

[Beyza DİŞLİ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Kitabın konusu güzeldi ve eğer zihin haritalarını daha önceden hiç bilmiyorsanız yararlı. Ancak ben bundan önce zihin haritalarının yapılışı, ne amaçla kullanılacağı gibi konularda bilgi sahibi olduğum için bana bir şey katmadı. Ama ilk defa okuyacaklar için de yine bir kötü taraf olarak kitabı gereksiz ve çok uzatmış. Son bölüm mesela resmen kendisine para kazandıralım diye yazılmış bir bölüm. Yani sizin de internetten birkaç video izleyerek öğreneceğiniz olaylar.

While The Ultimate Book of Mind Maps provides a solid foundation for understanding and implementing mind mapping techniques, it occasionally lacks depth in certain areas. Despite this, its clear explanations and diverse examples make it a valuable resource for beginners and intermediate users alike. However, advanced practitioners may find themselves wanting more nuanced strategies and case studies to further enhance their skills.
