Interview by: Alistair Craven

Tony Buzan has achieved the status of 'guru', an accolade accorded to very few. He has worked with corporate entities and businesses all over the world; academics; Olympic athletes; children of all ages; governments; and high profile individuals, in teaching them how to maximize the use of their brain power.

He is the inventor of Mind Maps®, the most powerful 'thinking tool' of our times. The Chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates recognized its importance in his article entitled 'The Road Ahead – How Mind-Mappers are taking our information democracy to the next stage' which recently appeared in Newsweek Issues.

A prolific author, he has written – to date – 94 books, with sales in more than 150 countries; his books have been translated into more than 33 languages. His latest titles are Age-Proof Your Brain, published by Harper Thorsons in 2007; and The Buzan Study Skills Handbook, published by BBC Active also in 2007.
