A Fine Book On Memory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I've always been partial to the works of Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas in the field of memory, but this one is every bit as high quality. I like to call it "just like it only different." Lorayne and Lucas' books contain the link, substitute words, and mnemonic systems for changing numbers to words. Buzan does this also, and in some places has more detailed information. He even gives the numbers from 100-1000 with substitute name suggestions for all of them. Especially valuable is chapter 11 entitled "Your memory's rhythms" in which he shows a time unit maximum recall graph. He also refers to left/right brain theories, which some people agree with and others don't. However, I believe that whatever your theory of right/left brain, you will still be greatly helped by using the visual suggestions he gives. It certainly does help the reader use the whole brain. As with all techniques, memory training requires effort. Studying is always a lot of work regardless of IQ and/or mental discipline. But books like this one make the process a lot more enjoyable, and I can truthfully say that the money I spent on it was more than worth it.

This is THE book that started me on the road to becoming a United States Memory Champion. The book is very well laid out, explains the systems clearly, and your improvement in memory is immediate.

After 4000+ seizures & brain surgery, my memory had fallen into the impaired range. I never thought i'd be able to recall things again. I expressed my frustrations to my neurologist & he suggested this book. It has done wonders for me.
Excellent, I was amazed how powerful my memory could be

I was so impressed at how well I could do that I am considering entering the 1999 U.S.A. Memory Olympics at 4 Irving Place New York City on February 6th 1999. Buy this book and I''ll see you there.
