Just superb explains all types of techniques in detailed manner for pro memory sport people it is a very good book and for detailed mastery over memory techniques. Reading this with moonwalking with Einstein is nice. It is similar to memory book the classic guide but more detailed. For starters that book is good. But this book is not that visual and if you have read unlimited memory book then it is almost like that with some more details that's it.

A good book for basic learning techniques but you have to revise those techniques time and again. This book basically tells that brain stores images much better than words , so overall you have to connect data with images and then store for longer retaining of the information.

An average book , can teach you a couple of things but not everything written might be of your utilization. So , grasp what's useful foe you and your career prospects and let everything else go .

This was the best book that I read on memory training. I was trying to find a book that clearly explains how to use memory palace or mental models like memory mapping but no-one was explaining with practical examples. I have read almost four books on a memory before I stumbled upon this book And I am so glad I did. In this modern era of globalization, information is power and the knowledge-based services sector is envied the most and paid well. So if you’re able to crunch numbers and process information faster than average people, you’re demanded the most. But ever since people started relying on computers and storage devices to store information and not on their own memory, People have literally degraded their ability to store a vast amount of information.

Every book talks about memory mapping or peg system or memory palace but rarely give any practical examples which was so annoying for me. I have read five books on memory training and they all talked a big game however failed to train when it comes to practicality. Thank god that this book existed.

I couldn't give ratings to this one, it's a tutionic guide , hopefully it will be very useful to follow it, i never know how many will end up succeeding in becoming an memory master , it's an very great handbook, how ever all memory training books and talks complies about a simple thing named "memory palace" one who can expert in building memory palace can succeed easily in becoming an memory master. All the best .

A helpful book for beginners. Some of the topics could be useful for people hoping to improve their memory. Others may find it a little too vague.

The book how to memorize anything is amazing book. In this book you can also learn that how to train your memory by lots of methods.
Memory is not just a function of the brain, it is very well guided by the faculty of the MIND.

Very informative.

[Denis Ruksha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wish I had read this book years ago. It is super practical and easy to read. I have already started implementing the memorizing techniques daily and have seen great results.

However, I did come across a few unsupported claims in the book, particularly regarding ADHD and brain function. These claims are not the main focus of the book, but it would be better if the authors refrained from mentioning something they are not specialized in. Additionally, I noticed several typos, mistranslations, and even repeating paragraphs in the book which was quite surprising. Although there may be edited versions of the book available, I am not sure how the book was published without proper double-checking.

This was very drawly, not very to the point, and not for any good, it explains the methods, but is incredibly bloated, wouldn't recommend reading this book for mnemonics. A better book would be something like Moonwalking With Einstien by Foer Joshua. I gave it 2 stars because it did give me some of the knowledge I wanted, not very well, and would simply be better off reading just Foer's book if you had to choose. It was also formatted badly, and was very Indian, and made many references that predicated on you know these things, like Indian politicians, states, etcetera, which made it harder to parse.

This book gives us practical ways in which we can improve our memory.
It also discusses in detail how are memory works and how to strengthen it.
Some myths about memory is also discussed in the book.
The ways discussed in books are:-
Peg System
Mind Map
Personal nick name
Hide and seek method
Mnemonic
Chain method
Association method
And many more.
This book also discusses how we can remember formulas, dates, names, checklist, squares and cubes, and many more things.
Happy Reading :)

A nice book to have on a checklist for people ever-hungry to increase their knowledge and especially store 'em.

Most of it was related to toddler stuff, periodic table, countries-capitals..A good find for them, but can't share their joy in this. Already past that.

Though, it does have mnemonics for biology, the college level so, shall let you guys know about that in the future.

Wonderful book with various methods of memorizing names,numbers,list of items,dates,etc.
Explained in a lucid way but yes we need lot of practice to memorize these methods :)
Some of the methods are really helping me a lot. Strongly recommend if you want to memorize anything and gain confidence.

Cool Book with concepts that you can apply and start memorizing things right away but I became disappointed with the study section of the book which used all the techniques previously mentioned in the book. It didn't turn out to be that useful- The study section part.

It's okay to jam your thought and move on.

A handbook for helping us to memorize .

[Ashish Tiwari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not much of a one-time transformative book, but the memorizing tricks especially the peg system do help you if you use them regularly in the long run.

“The fact is the more you remember, the more you CAN remember.”

“there is no such thing as a poor memory. There is only trained or untrained memory.”

This book comes as a life for the people who tend to forget more with more information! Yes, our memory is not at all bound with such restrictions. Rather, it’s like the more we bring it to work – the more effectively it works! Enticing enough? Read on to learn more about how this book could be beneficial for you and your loved ones as well.

They provide the readers with logical reasoning and explanations along with full-proof techniques in order to make most of your grey cells. The techniques are effective and easy to learn and get hold of. The format of the book is welcoming and makes it easier for the grasp and the reader imbibes all the information simultaneously. I agree that you will excel only after practicing it for quite a while but the moment you will learn or read you will start working on it, unknowingly. They have provided with examples and trial questions for the benefit of the readers.

Insightful books with pragmatic tips on "short-cutting" a few ways around your brains.

Seems written specifically for student (not necessarily life-long learners).
