About this listen
Memory is, without a doubt, the most powerful (and practical) tool of everyday life. By linking both your past and your future, memory gives you the power to plan, to reason, to perceive, and to understand.
Yet while all of us have an amazing capacity for memory, there are plenty of times when it seems to fail us. Why does this happen? And how can you fix it? In Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory, you’ll explore the real research on how memory functions - and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have. By tapping into a series of scientifically proven strategies, tricks, and techniques, and by practicing them through dynamic exercises, you’ll emerge from the end of this short course with the ability to process information more effectively and to increase your chance of remembering almost anything you want.

Great Information
The entire book was good. I only wish that there were exercise challenges to help encode. I felt that once I finished the book, it would take much effort for me to come up with coding exercises on my own as I study full time, write documents after school, and retun home to take care of kids. This is very tedious most days. Given both my lifestyle and learning style, I know that a few exercises would have helped me feel like I am making some type of memory improvement progress and gotten me motivated to get started on my own. Otherwise, I enjoyed the the book.

Very good information
This book will reach out how to enhance your memory for things like numbers through using the major system and how to create abstract pictures in your mind to help you remember things. It also gives great tips for remember peoples names such as encoding it into your brain within those few seconds after you met them, think of something that sounds like their name such as Sharon could be sharing some chips. Excellent tips and facts about the brain and memory that everyone could benefit to knowing. It’s a book I will likely come back to.

True to its title
When I seen the title of this book, I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not I would pick up techniques that would actually work. I have picked up two techniques that have changed the way I store memory and have actually improved my memory understanding and capacity. I am grateful to have listened to this program.
