Tony Buzan shows us that physical intelligence is a quality we all share. We can temporarily lose it - but it can always be regained. It consists of overall physical fitness, balance, agility and co-ordination, anticipation, reaction time, strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness. He states that by training yourself to be physically intelligent, you can become physically co-ordinated, balanced and poised. As you develop this intelligence, you should find yourself more able to play all and any physical sports. The more balanced and physically fit your body becomes, the more balanced and mentally fit your brain should become - the two work in harmony.
Tony Buzan was an English author, educational consultant, and pioneer of the mind mapping technique, which he developed to enhance learning, creativity, and memory. Born in Middlesex in 1942, he studied psychology, English, mathematics, and science at the University of British Columbia and later became a graduate student at Simon Fraser University, where he served as the inaugural president of the student society. Buzan was a strong advocate for mental literacy and radiant thinking, drawing inspiration from figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein. He authored or co-authored over 80 books, including the bestselling Use Your Head, The Mind Map Book, and The Speed Reading Book, and gained international recognition through his 1970s BBC series Use Your Head. Buzan co-founded the World Memory Championships, the Mind Sports Olympiad, and the Brain Trust Charity. His legacy lives on through his books, seminars, and iMindMap software.
