The Tony BuzanLegacy
And now the legacy will be perpetuated by this University which uses a blend of core Tony’s teachings, the latest neuroscience discoveries, the
Tony's three core beliefs
Tony Buzan beliefs
His first belief was that an operations manual was needed for the human brain, not its medical functions, but the way it works. The next was that every human has a spark of genius within, but the problem was to ignite it. Tony’s third and final insight was his invention of the Mind Map, a tool for portraying thoughts, plans and ideas, which bypassed conventional academic norms. The Mind Map is predicated on radiant thinking, spreading out from a dominant central concept, utilizing color, dimension and association.
Tony's Books of Accumulated Wisdom

Tony went on to write over 140 books , translated into 40 languages, as well as lecturing around the world and making numerous TV programmes about his ideas.
He was an enthusiastic player of mental games, such as chess and go, and a near Olympic standard rower on his favourite stretch of The Thames at Marlow, where he often skulled with Sir Steve Redgrave.
The Power of Memory
The Power of Memory
The perception that the Mind Map also promoted memory drew Tony towards the foundation of the world memory championship at London in 1991. This was won (for the first of eight times) by the dyslexic Dominic O Brien.
Growing from just eight entrants in 1991 to over three hundred entrants, the 2018 world championship was won by a 14-year-old Chinese girl, Wei Qinrun.
Both victors exemplified Tony’s belief that everyone possesses that immortal spark of genius,which merely awaits the right flame to set it in motion.
Headmaster of the Human Race
Headmaster of the Human Race
Having known Tony for thirty years, and written his biography, what struck us most about him was his inner child. It was clear that his own school experiences had marked him deeply and left an indelible impression. Throughout his life Tony repeatedly positioned himself as the headmaster of the human race. Indeed, one of his numerous unfinished books at his death was an ambitious report card on the human race, marking humanity out of 100 on such topics as the environment, education, peace, economics, race and gender relations ad infinitum. Another was an exploration into animal intelligence, a subject which constantly absorbed him.
HIS SPECIALITY WAS THE BRAIN: how could insects with micro brains achieve such feats of organisation as, for example, evinced by ants and termites, or arachnids such as the Portia spider?
In Search of Genius
In Search of Genius
Unsurprisingly, Tony found himself particularly at ease with kids, and one of his triumphs was the TV series In Search of Genius, in which Tony, on camera, took a class of wild school children and converted them over six programmes into model pupils.

In contrast, at the elite end of the spectrum, Tony once received a mysterious phone call inviting him first class, no expense spared, to a desert hideout in Bahrain; sworn to secrecy, Tony was greeted by none other than Michael Jackson, who asked Tony to teach mental literacy, mind mapping, memory and speed reading, to the megastar’s offspring.
Waking the Sleeping Giant
Waking the Sleeping Giant - Your Brain
Tony’s enduring legacy will be those generations of readers of his books and attendees at his lectures who found unsuspected depths within themselves and were inspired to maximise what Tony frequently referred to as that sleeping giant – the human brain. Our website will make available all of Tony’s in print books, as well as regular issues of new Tony books which he was in the act of completing at his sad and premature passing.
As known worldwide, Tony Buzan is the inventor of the Mind Map.
Tony discovered how to use brain science to dramatically improve learning, creativity, understanding, and memory in everyone, regardless of age, gender, faith, race or starting point.
His proven training techniques and mind enhancing tools have liberated and unlocked the potential for thousands of people, transforming lives and making them more productive, more secure, and more dynamic and creative.
Our goal is to make Mind Mapping, Memory Training, Creativity, Learning How to Learn, and Intelligent Reading available to everyone through online and in person training using AI tools that transform the everyday brain into extraordinary minds.
