He created and invented "mind map", a thinking tool that has been popular all over the world for decades, so he is also called "Mr. World Brain" by the world. Mind mapping is a very effective thinking map for memory, learning and thinking, which is very beneficial to people's divergent thinking. It is often used for internal training by Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Disney, General Electric, Goldman Sachs, etc., to improve employees' organizational and learning innovation abilities.
Can we ordinary people use such a powerful mind map in our daily life? Ando Miyuki's daily life mind map tells you that there is no problem at all!
Mind Map in Daily Life introduces what mind map is in detail, illustrates the function of mind map with a large number of practical cases in life, and finally emphatically expounds the "seven rules" of drawing mind map.
The author Miyuki Ando is the legal representative of Re Prism Co., Ltd.. Since she founded this company, she has worked as a nurse in a public nursery for 20 years. After receiving the guidance of Bozan's trainer, many years of nursing experience told her that mind mapping can not only be used in the workplace! Therefore, she opened various parent-child tutorials on mind mapping, hoping that not only professionals, housewives and children can also master this useful thinking tool in happy learning.
Then, I summed up some points in the book that I think are more useful.
For a thousand people, there are a thousand mind maps.
A neuroscientist at the University of California once did a study on the way the brain stores information. He first selected the most commonly used nouns and verbs 1705 from English, and made a slide for each word. Then, he asked four volunteers to watch the slides and recorded their brain reactions with a brain scanner.
The resolution of this scanner is very high. When displaying each slide, it can distinguish which neuron clusters the brain activity takes place at this time. For example, butterflies and dogs have different active neuron clusters, so they will not be confused.
1705 slides were presented, and the "map" of the distribution of these objects and actions in the volunteers' brains came out. This brain "map" is not randomly distributed, but has a certain logical relationship, such as dogs and fish, and their corresponding storage areas are very close. This shows that the brain classifies them because they are both animals. This confirms the idea that the brain stores information in different categories.
And the mind maps and lines we draw at will are naturally classified, and the information is arranged in an orderly way, miscellaneous but not chaotic. Isn't this the "map" of brain information distribution made in the above experiment? Therefore, mind mapping reflects the real state of the brain and also reflects a person's "essence" in a special way.
The German philosopher Leibniz said, "There are no two identical leaves in the world." No two people in the world have exactly the same way of thinking. If you see the same two mind maps, it must have been drawn by the same person. Therefore, through mind mapping, we can vaguely perceive a person's "style" and "essence", which is more accurate than greeting or just looking at appearance.
Second, mind mapping is the ultimate weapon of parent-child communication.
There was a survey of 20,870 primary and secondary school students. The results showed that only 26.73% of primary and secondary school students said that the people who wanted to speak their minds most were their parents, and this proportion showed a gradual decline with the growth of children's age.
Among them, 57.54% middle school students and 42.89% primary school students prefer "chatting with classmates and good friends".
Many parents are very upset that their children have not opened their hearts to themselves, and parents and children often have nothing to say. In fact, whether a child is willing to open his heart to communicate with us depends largely on whether he feels understood and respected.
Miyuki Ando's Mind Map in Daily Life suggests that mind map is a very useful tool to improve parent-child communication.
For young children, colorful mind maps are very attractive to them. When they see their parents drawing mind maps, they may think that "mom and dad are drawing." Usually, I can't wait to accept my parents' invitation and draw a mind map together. Doing the same thing between parents and children is conducive to enhancing the feelings between parents and children. Mind mapping can also help them express themselves and help parents understand their children: "Oh, so she/he thinks so."
Get to know our children with the help of mind maps and treat them as adults. In the long run, the communication between parents and children will become smoother and smoother.
Third, can't draw? It doesn't matter.
The book puts forward seven rules for drawing mind maps:
Paper-looking for paper with good feel
Central image-no need for beautiful "painting"
Color-in short, it is rich and colorful!
Sexy curves are the best.
Language-Give each chapter a title.
Grading-there is no need to do it deliberately.
Tef cas- testing, events, feedback, inspection, adjustment and success.
Many readers will worry that "my painting foundation is not good, and I can't draw those beautiful mind maps." Therefore, it is a pity to flinch from mind mapping.
The "central image" in Rule 2 is not a "central picture", and it is not required that the picture is beautiful. If this really prevents you from trying, then you can also try the following methods.
First, replace it with words. However, try to match words with colors and patterns.
Second, refer to the physical painting. Watches, mobile phones, etc. I will.
Third, collect a collection of pictures. Usually, you can collect some simple illustrations that can outline lines with a thicker pen.
There are always a lot of trivial troubles in daily life, and you will get into trouble if you are not careful. When faced with these troubles, will you be irritable and depressed? Look at Miyuki Ando's mind map in daily life, and see how she uses it to help us sort out complicated thoughts and stimulate our thinking of solving problems. Finally, take out a piece of white paper and a brush, and try to draw a mind map.
