Product Description

Do you want to stop forgetting appointments, birthdays, and other important dates? Work more efficiently at your job? Study less and get better grades? Remember the names and faces of people you meet? The good news is that it's all possible. Your Memory will help to expand your memory abilities beyond what you thought possible. Dr. Higbee reveals how simple techniques, like the Link, Loci, Peg, and Phonetic systems, can be incorporated into your everyday life and how you can also use these techniques to learn foreign languages faster than you thought possible, remember details you would have otherwise forgotten, and overcome general absentmindedness. Higbee also includes sections on aging and memory and the latest information on the use of mnemonics.

Memory books  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

This book is a gem and recommend it to anyone. The techniques offered in this book will help you in school and life. No one should be without this. I've used the loci system to help me improve my memory and it worked. I use to have a real problem remembering names, now it happen less often. The first half of this book explains how the techniques work the last half explains how to learn these techniques for yourself. But like any true power or gift it will not work for you unless you practice and learn and use these life changing techniques. Some are easier to learn than others but it has a practical and amazing uses for everyday life unlike most information.

Memory is important!  (Rating: 4 out of 5)

This is a great book for people studying for difficult exams. Especially recommended is the chapter on study habits.

Helpful to the tee.   (Rating: 5 out of 5)

This has been a very important book to continue my research of the memory in the brain in order to complete my paper. It is a very well written book with meaningful information on every page. If you are further interested in the field of psychology or anything to do with the brain, this book is a must and this author is great as well. "When it comes to your memory, don't be forgetful". ;-)

Go ahead... Read it!  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

This is a very simple book. I just finished reading half of it in little over an hour and a half. It was very interesting so far. Although I haven't read the whole thing, I wanted to go ahead and review it now. The book is worth reading for chapter seven alone (which contains some example mnemonic tricks that are great)! I would definetely recommend this for a short, fun read.

Practice, Practice, Practice  (Rating: 3 out of 5)

Like all memory technques the authors stress association for memory improvement which is a good exercise to help remember things. In order for it to be effective it has to be practiced which can become a chore and why most people fail because they don't do it. I think Kevin Trudeau may have a more simple and effective method which is along the same lines as these authors. I know some people may have unfavorably thoughts about Trudeau but I thought his memory courses were good and helped me some. And you can get them at your local library as you can with this book. I chose to buy this book it because I want it handy as reference material.
