Remember It!
by Nelson Dellis
A four-time USA Memory Champion teaches the techniques: the memory palace, the major system for numbers, name-face associations, and how to apply them to speeches, lists, cards and languages, with illustrated examples. It is accessible and hands-on, more tutorial than Foer's narrative.
Read it if…
you want to actually learn memory techniques, not read about someone else learning them.
Skip it if…
you want the story; see Moonwalking with Einstein.
Three things you will actually use
- Convert abstract information into vivid images.
- Place images along a familiar route.
- Practice daily; the techniques are skills.
Do this first
Build a ten-location memory palace in your home and store a shopping list in it today.
Our verdict
Hands-on and clear.
