Reviews

A natural means of developing the memory.


(5 stars)

This is a really good book with a natural means of developing, training and using the memory. Bottom line, it's the attention that creates the impressions in the mind. We need to stop, take time to notice things and impress them upon our minds and therefore as a result find ourselves recalling things more easily. This book is very well read and I enjoy listing to it over and over again. I used the methods described therein in order to pass my TDG test for my new trucking job. I was surprised at the results of 90% without having priorly studied for the test but only with a quick read through before hand. Thank you for an excellent aid to my memory.

I enjoyed listening to this book. it gives tricks and tips to remember in every section in our life. Excellent ideas for remembering. at least one reading is a must for every person who wish to improve memory power. to train oneself learn and implement one step at a time. I liked it and I even recommended my kids to read it

A book not work recollecting


(1 stars)

The author complains about how synthetic remembering tools i.e. programs on the market are only 'schoolboy tricks' with the real way to commit items to memory is by natural means, but never gives any worth the read/listen advice. The chapters are filled mainly with famous/non-famous people's great feats of memory and quotes from researchers in the field.

Great work.

This lets you know about other memory systems that do not work and why. This book give a good system for improving your memory.

Brilliant


(5 stars)

A book that needs to be read by anyone who wants to achieve all that they are capable of. Enlightening and all good sense.

very well read by Roger Melin....it had this impact on me because of him

worth a listen


(5 stars)

i found this to be very informative and interesting to listen to while at work. there were a chapter or two that seemed unnecessary due to being monotonous. the final chapter, which was a review seemed like the best portion of this book. As it envelops the key points of the book into a clear, concise, summary that makes them easier to grasp. i reccomend anyone seeing this book as too long to listen to, to consider reviewing at least the final chapter. overall i would reccomend this book to anyone looking to improve their memory training skills.

absolutely time westing


(1 stars)

90% he is talking about great people . in his topics in each chapter he is westing time by giving half of technical names. the base of topic and the entire chapter going in different direction. not easy to understand and boring sound that u don't wish to listen whats next
