by Karen Chapman (Author)

Have you ever thought what would your life be like if you could keep in mind information both easily and quickly? Or the other way round, imagine that you were born without memory? How can you live? Who are you? How do you know where your home is? Your memory is a "binder" that connects the parts of your life together, everything you are able to do - learn, speak, write, think, create or even know how to brush teeth - exists thanks to your memory. But how to improve the "cornerstone" of our existence? The techniques explained in this book show you how to code information vividly, using stories, familiar journeys, strong mental images and so on. First of all, everything you need is to focus on what you're trying to remember. It is common knowledge, that the concentration depends on your memory, once you improve your concentration you improve your memory. The "Link method" of memory training presented in chapter two, makes it possible to remember the items for some days, even if they aren't used. I'm sure, you have rhymed the word one day already to memorize them. The "Peg system" (Chapter three) is excellent for remembering lists in sequence; as soon as the "peg words" are encoded with the corresponding numerical counterpart, it is so easy to make an uncommon association. Do you remember well the places that are already familiar to you? Could you memorize all the rooms within your house, head office or other places? The deed is almost done You are in a fair way to the "Loci system" of memory technique (Chapter four) that allows to recall and memorize an imagined unlimited number of the items in a special fixed order. If you need to memorize things constantly, go off on a long-term journey (Chapter five), take a good look at things around you, touch them and walk around them. This will all be essential in your real memory. Memories created in such a way can become constant without a lot of effort. Try to remember numbers, but without effect? The "Phonetic number system" (Chapter six) keeps one of the leading places among the memory techniques using associations and imaginations. A shocking, powerful trick for memorizing the numbers is found - it is the transformation of the numbers to letters. The "Alphabet Technique" as one of the most complicated techniques requires the longer arrangements and is more difficult to encode than other systems. But This way of the storing the information in your brain allows to remember and code a list consisting of more than 20 items The prescription presented at the Chapter seven helps you to master this technique. The "Major System" allows to transform the numbers into the words (Chapter eight); the system begins its function with transferring digits into the consonant sounds, adding the vowels before, between and after those letters. Chapter nine presents us the "Magnetic Memory method" that provides the use of various elements of your daily routine and a possible way how can the world you live in to be turned into a "Memory Palace". Do you have your own palace? Would you invite us to take a trip altogether? "Forming a story" (Chapter Ten), "Connection technique" (Chapter Eleven), the "Snapshot technique" (Chapter twelve), "Visualization"(Chapter thirteen), "Mnemonic Memory Game" (Chapter fourteen), "Chunking method" (Chapter fifteen) and the "First letter association"(Chapter sixteen) techniques are funny ways to strengthen your memory and keep in mind the most important events as well as numbers, items, definitions, foreign vocabulary, poems, stories, speeches etc. This book will save you a lot of energy and time because it is the best teacher of memory improvement
