The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, is a book which describes different epidemics and how little things can have a huge impact. For this book we were asked to make up 2 mind maps in the style of Tony Buzan. One mind map containing an overall view of the book where we could work in groups firing ideas at each other. I found that really helpful as i had forgotten some of the incidents within it. For our 2nd mind map we were to work on it ourselves and focus on a particular chapter which interested us the most. I chose the 'The Stickiness Factor' as i found it related to my childhood and was more enjoyable to read. In the stickiness factor chapter, I branched off the main subjects which were Sesame Street, which related to my childhood, Blues Clues and advertisment and from them i branched off into detail.
The mind maps by Tony Buzan, i found very hard to get the hang when put into practice as i dont usually write on the spine of the line and use colour, so it was different. The mind map itself was very useful though because it breaks the chapter up into sections and makes things easier to understand. One thing which i did not follow was drawing pictures instead of words as it was hard to put into context. The pictures above show my final result.
