With the spread of the Mind Map and the resulting improved global mental
literacy, it could be assumed that the case for Mind Mapping is all wrapped up
by now – that the Mind Map is protected and secure, and there is little more to
be said about it. Yet sadly that is not the case.
While it is true that there have been some wonderful realizations of my original
dream that every man, woman and child should discover the benefits of Mind
Mapping, there have also been some problems. Over recent decades, the Mind
Map has at times been misunderstood and misappropriated by those who purport
to be trained teachers in the art of Mind Mapping, but whose understanding of
the process turns out to be fundamentally flawed, and whose practice therefore
doesn’t follow the key Laws of Mind Mapping that you will find in
Chapter 2
(see
page 60
). Whenever Mind Mapping is mistaught, I believe there is a risk
that ultimately the purity and power of the Mind Map itself will be
compromised.
Fortunately, however, the Mind Map is a robust entity. It is, after all, an
evolutionary form of thinking, perfectly adapted to the requirements of our
digital age – and beyond.
