Tony Buzan is the author of books such as 'Use Your Head' and 'Use Your Memory'. The curriculum is potentially quite tough: for example master grade 1 in speed reading goes to those who can read 1,000 words per minute with 70% comprehension, with master grade 10 for those reading 10,000 words per minute. And those of us who find it hard to remember 20 items on a tea tray may be daunted by the Master 10 requirement to memorise 10,000 useful items.
