Remember It!: The Names of People You Meet, All of Your Passwords, Where You Left Your Keys, and Everything Else You Tend to Forget Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

There is much information on "remembering" techniques. I needed to read and try before I read on to the next technique or skill. The book is good for much more than one read if you're serious about learning to remember.

Want more ways to help me learn things to help me remember things

I was a poor student my first time in college twenty years ago. After leaving the Army (with a traumatic brain injury to boot), I wasn't liking my chances the second time around. My first college experience ended with a 2.45 GPA. After reading and applying the skills I learned in Nelson's book, I have a 3.89 - and I am studying at the premier engineering university in my home state. These techniques even work for mathematics. And if you have children - buy his newest book. Invest in your mind. It cost less than a bad steak.

This is an excellent book on memory and how to improve your memoryso many incredible hintsno limits on type of memory issues or ageseveryone can benefitI also liked the heavier weight paper used and great illustrationsa game changer for meMy son, an actor, swears by it for memorizing linesI have age related cognitions active decline and it REALLY helps!!

I don't write many reviews but I had to for this book. It is a modern, easy-to-follow book that covers how to remember nearly everything. I am impressed by the writing and love the illustrations which makes it even easier and more fun to read. The only down side is that I wanted to hear more about the author - a 4 time memory champion - and his journey to success. He covers it briefly in the opening chapter but I would love to hear more stories of memory competitions and the life of a memory athlete. But if you're looking for a book that will give an overview of how to improve your memory in a lot of different areas, this is it!

Not sure anyone can add anything new to this field since Harry LorayneBooks since him are more homage and variations(Practice, practice, practice is the secret sauce to get even close to the pros)However, even in everyday life the PEG system and ad hoc Memory Palaces are worth the time to develop!Thanks to Dellis, I discovered Lauren Tothero's memorizing techniqueI cannot make the Tothero System work, but the technique feels as if it should have potentialMemorizing a deck of cards is a cool exercise for short term memory; alas no real breakthrough techniqueAll in all, this book is worth a look-see, and a sure buy if this book is your first memory book

Like other reviewers, I have used other memory books. I recommend this book because Nelson approaches memory training as being really fun, and it is. He covers classic techniques and introduces new ones. Most important, he has inspired me to start memorizing things again. I used to memorize all sorts of things and then got lazy and stopped. Now I'm back at it.

It's a true and tested way of improving memory, and beyond gimmicky looking techniques the book explains that memory is a muscle that improves and strengthens as you keep using it(which I find by experience to be true). There's certainly a sizeable amount of work to be put into the effort, not a desirable challenge for me but I can certainly see this working for some people.

I’ve read a few really good memory books but Nelson’s explains the technique best and covers a few methods not in other books

Dellis has mastered these techniques and has put them to good use. If you want to do the same then this book is the best guide I know of and I’ve read many, many books of this type.

This book covers all the basics such as the link method, memory palace, major system, etc. It is written in a very good style and uses colour to great effect.

If you are like me, and a fan of memory skills but have struggled to read a book that CLEARLY outlines the differently techniques of memory then this book is the one you want! It is a wonderful compliment to the other great memory books out there like Moonwalking with Einstein, anything by Harry Lorayne and Dominic O'Brien but Nelson Dellis really walks you through each technique step, by step in a clear and colour-coded fashion. Of all of the memory books that I own (and I think that I have most of them) this is easily one of the absolute best!

Great memory book, recommend reading Moonwalking with Einstein and then follow it up with Nelson's book which reads almost like a technical manual to Moonwalking.Less prescriptive than other memory books, which promotes producing your own systems which of course will be more memorable than any rote learned system used by another memory expert.Recommend the hard copy, the book itself is visual and highlighted with many images. One of the first times I have seen a memory champion actually list his/her own PAO system. Useful in the way you see an expert creates their own images and systems.A must read along with the older classics such as "The Memory Book" etc, for anyone getting into memory systems.
