I began this book with an open mind. I found many things in it that I was already familiar with like the Major System, the importance of sleep, the Loci method, etc. But I also learned a few new tricks and methods like the Dominic Method and Yellow Elephant. I got turned onto some new Apps. This is a useful jumping-off point.

This book is a short guide into the topic of memory improvement. Although it covers an array of techniques and considerations regarding memory improvement, it is a book addressed to readers who are beginners in this area. It offers very basic information that can be easily digested and applied, using simple language. To anyone with some experience or prior knowledge of the memory improvement field, this book can be of use as a quick reference.

Overall, the book is not bad and it has its use, but it did not do much for me. Also, I wish it was edited better.

This short book presents some easy ways to improve one's brain and memory.

What sort of learner are you? Do you need to see it, hear it or do it before you learn it? If you are memorizing a long string of numbers or words, try bunching them together into groups of numbers, or phrases, instead of trying to memorize them individually.

The brain is like any other muscle; the more often it is used, the better it will function. Consider taking up daily puzzles, like sudoku or crossword puzzles. But don't do the same kind of puzzle every day; you brain will get bored. Try writing, or moving your computer mouse, with your non-dominant hand. Several apps are mentioned that do various kinds of brain training. Learning a new language will certainly engage your brain. Chewing gum can actually be good for your brain (!).

Physical or emotional stress is a normal part of daily life. A little bit of occasional stress is not a bad thing. Chronic, or continuous, stress is a bad thing. Find some way to let go of it, like with moderate exercise. Which sounds more doable, going for a walk a couple of times a week, or doing yoga or tai chi? Don't forget the need to eat right, drink plenty of water and get a good night's sleep. The book gives details about Good and Bad foods.

The book also contains several other, more specific, memory techniques. It is an interesting book that is good for anyone from any walk of life. But, the book loses half a ratings star because parts of it needed a trip, or another trip, to a proofreader. There were also problems with the layout. It is still well worth reading for everyone.

The subtitle of this book seems to intimate that this will be about exercises, games, and techniques that will help improve memory. Only the first five chapters seem to be about memory techniques and tricks. The rest of the five main chapters look at how other aspects of health and well-being may impact your memory, like stress, nutrition, sleep, and gut health.

In the introductory chapter, where he had a section about activities and habits that can hurt memory, he rather nonsensically grouped drugs and diabetes together. These two things have nothing to do with each other, especially as it relates to memory, and as a diabetic, I certainly do not see diabetes as either a habit or an activity! If it were a habit, I would gladly give it up! In some later chapters, I found myself questioning where the author got his information, especially in the diet and nutrition chapter. That chapter had either subjective statements presented as facts or common sense information. The former, while the author tried to sound authoritative, didn't seem to be backed up with any actual facts.

The book feels like a collection of random memory techniques and tips along with somewhat questionable “facts” about stress, diet, sleep, and gut health that seem only loosely tied to memory improvement. As such, I cannot recommend this book.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my
