The Mind Map Book

Today, I went to Marui at JR Kokubunji station with my wife and daughter.
There is a Kinokuniya Book Store, and I wanted to buy the book below. :)



The Mind Map Book
Tony Buzan and Barry Buzan (translated by Yasunori Kanda)
ISBN 4-478-76099-3

BTW, I thought Mind Map is a bit similar to Fishbone Diagram. :o
Especially, a fishbone diagram example found in the second URL showing history of Germany in 1930's is interesting.

I think "Fishbone Diagram" is similar to "MECE" of "Logical thinking".
Mind Map seems to attach great importance to sensibility and free idea.

Hi Karl (Carl?),
Thanks for you comment.
Do you mean MECE for http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MECE?
IMHO, MECE is intended for logic, but Mind Map for association of different ideas. In other words, Mind Map can be a help for inspirations. In this sense, they are a bit different.
