This Book Actually Does What It Says...

2007-05-12
This book is filled with a good number of memory improvement tricks and techniques that are presented in a conversational style and kept to roughly a single page in length.

In addition to showing you various techniques, the author subtly weaves in ways that improve your observation skills, helps you form creative associations, and that causes you to remember.

There are little exercises through out the book, but they are just that - samples. There's nothing boring or done by rote. As you're reading along, several pages later (which could days later), the author indirectly tests you, validating that if you even try the technique, you get high return with minimal effort. Simply practicing seems to improve your memory even more.

Instead of spending money on all those mega-memory courses, this book will get you there in shorter time and in a much more entertaining manner.

Revisiting past reads

I originally read this book many (many) years ago and had lost track of it and wanted to re-read. So, I did the most natural thing to do -- find it on Amazon. And, as they say, the rest is history. Received it and enjoyed it the second time around. Amazon and their partners in products have not disappointed me yet -- (knock on wood).

What can I say in simple words?
Another unique step by step guide which helps you to start use your memory. The great memory you already have. Harry proves that by teaching you how to take advantage of it.
Easy to understand techniques and explanations in this unique... Harry's style.
You work at your own pace. Author (like in other books) gives you a chance to work the way you like.
As a memory developmnent specialist I can say, that what Harry teaches is nuts and bolts of what you really need to improve your memory. Even single technique from this book can help you a lot.
But to be honest- you have to start and pracice!
I love that book and other books of this great author.

Step By Step Plan To Memory Improvement

2004-01-18
I have read other of Harry Lorayne's books and they have all been valuable.

But this one is unique in that it gives a page by page plan to learn the techniques. You can go through it at your own pace and it's presented in an easy to understand way. You can spend as much time as necessary with each page. You can finish reading it understanding the mechanics of memory a lot better, and even a surface practicing of the techniques will help a lot.

Of course, systematic practice will work even better.

Some of Lorayne's other books present more detailed information, but this one is a good, solid presentation of memory improvement and is maybe one of the easiest ones to begin to put into practice for immediate improvement.

It is especially good for people who have had no prior exposure to memory improvement and would like to have some practical advice that they can implement right away.

Try it! You won't be disappointed.

Harry Lorayne, the master of `Memory Power' says : Memory is an essential food for success. Memory boost the confidence for success. And at the age seventy plus, Harry has superb memory powers and those who have seen him on televion in action or read his books are sure to exclaim "Oh gosh! This is the Something! Memorising the names of a hundred strangers and than recognizing their faces and telling them their names just perfectly is real cool Memory! Who says "When you become old, you start losing memory" Harry just proves it wrong.Harry Lorayne's techniques increase performances as he says that every moment is precious and it counts. Sometimes, you don't remember the name of a person even though you sense it just beyond the grasp of your memory. You might not remember the name of a movie and such tip of the tongue which tots out incidents keep happening quite often. The best remedy for such flaws would be to stop fretting about it and take it lightly. Soon the memory is back normal again. Many times, we forget the keys and our minds go blank as we keep thinking and trying to locate it. It creates an annoying situation.Memory isn't fading but it's probably you didn't give the memory system the information it required. Harry Lorayne's techniques boost brain cells to activate, enhance powers of concentration, observation, be confident and makes a person alert and alive. You can test your Memory skills and get the tips and tricks to memorize in general, remembering names, telephone numbers, faces, classnotes, multiplication tables, music scores or just about anything.

It's good stuff 2001-05-06
I think some of you guys are missing the point. If you recall Mr. loryane teaches the principles of memory and association at the beginning of the book. The examples in the book are used only to get you started using the systems not to teach you every single instance in which you might use them. You must grasp the principles of association and visualization first. When an understanding of those concepts have been established then you will clearly see how to twist and apply it to your own memory situations no matter what they may be. He says that at the end of the book. Read the first half carefuly then you will clearly see how he applies the concepts to situations and so will you. I have to say applying the systems to school is a lot better than my old rote technique I used all my life. I used these same techniques to raise my GPA a full point and get on the deans list twice in a row. So, any arguements are lost on experience. All those looking for a way to improve memory for school and life this is it. When you read the book don't skim and pretend like you are in some sort of training because you are. Finally, If you take it seriously, practice, and USE the systems you will reap the benefits, dont and you won't. Bye

Not For Everyone 2001-04-20
When I bought this book, I thought it was designed to help improve one's memory. What it is actually about is different techniques for remembering certain kinds of things. It is absolutely a good buy if you are looking to remember numbers or names. The techniques do require some work, though. I was hoping for help on memorizing dialog and speeches, and there is a small section on that, but I think there is probably a better book for it. I did improve my visualization skill, however. As a side effect of the exercises, my creativity has increased. I think this book is useful for students or people who must memorize dates or inventory numbers for work. I gave it a three star review because I thought the title misleading, and I did not feel that the book was written very well.

Best book on improving your memory! 2001-03-23
Just over 150 pages with simple, direct and powerful tecniques (many we use already unknowingly!) that will improve your memory in different areas: going to school, learning a new language (I learned 8 new words in about 10 minutes!), speeches, daily work schedule etc.. Will facilitate many tasks in your life forever!

ARE YOU ON THE GO, THEN IT'S FOR YOU 1999-08-23
When I first heard the name I thought it was a speed reading book, but it turned out to be a memory book. This book is good if you are on the go, but if you have some time in your hand then you should definetly read one of his other books. All the stuff he says in the book really works. It's really great. If you buy this book, and you just read, it is usless YOU MUST TRY THE TECHINUQUES HE TELLS YOU. It really improved my memoy a lot.
