Uses interviews with successful people to highlight the role of memory in time management, decision making, problem solving, and creativity, and teaches memory techniques
Harry Lorayne was an American mnemonist, magician, and author. He was well known for his incredible memory demonstrations and appeared on numerous television shows. His card magic, especially his innovations in card sleights, is widely emulated by amateur and professional magicians.
This book teaches the reader how to increase the capabilities of memorizing faces, objects, facts, and numerical information in particular. The author provides techniques of association, so that a person can easily recall the information; for example, associating a person’s facial features to something vulgar to have it stick in your mind. These techniques require a lot of persistence, patience and hard work, but you will gain a very powerful memory.
