5.0 out of 5 stars
Written by one of the masters!,
By sebastian@bahn-christoffersen.com (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Page a Minute Memory Book (Paperback)
Well, this book gives you what it promises: A super memory. Provided that you throw in the necessary work yourself, of course. I have reviewed many so-called "self-improvement" books and must say that this piece is not one of them. Written by a man that has proven himself in this field repeatedly this book is really not about self-improvement but about the human memory and how to help it memorise things. Loraine does indeed promise you a super memory and I can honestly say that this is the case. However, do not be disappointed if it will not happen in a day, or immediately after you put the book down even. Contrary to what many aspiring promise-it-all books say, memory does not release itself into a sharp, never erring instrument in an instant but must be nurtured and trained regularly in order for it to become that next generation retention instrument we all hope for. Although your brain does eventually increase its birth-given recall capabilities over time if you apply the techniques (it does with me anyway) the single most impressive thing about this book is not memory improvement... it is the way that you learn how to USE your memory. Everybody can memorize a chunk of information, given enough time that is, and you are no exception to that rule. What this book learns you is to shorten the retention time (the time it takes to absorb and memorise a piece of information) to an absolute minimum. Imagine memorising complex information in one tenth of the time you do now! Well, this book does exactly that. And what a read it is. Yes, it IS about mnemonics and no, this is NOT as tedious and tiresome a process to incorporate into daily life as you may think. But it is not a walk in the park either. Coming from a very analytical background myself, I must strain my association skills above normal in order for the mnemonic techniques to work for me and perhaps you should be prepared to do the same. If you are serious about this subject, there are few important books for you to read out there. Besides this one, let me suggest the brick piece Official Know-It-All Guide to Secrets of Mind Power by the master himself - Harry Loraine.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Give this to your friends!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Page a Minute Memory Book (Paperback)
After I read this book, I was afraid that my brain would fill up with all the new information I was suddenly remembering!Through a system of visual linkages, Lorayne teaches a technique for remembering names, numbers, dates and even lists of objects. The phoenetic linkages for numbers enables you to memorise telephone numbers, bank note serial numbers and addresses with very little effort. I only wish I had this book when I was learning the Periodic Table at school! Lorayne has a few other books out on a similar topic and he has also released a few books on Magic. He occasionally appears on television, where he memorises the names of the entire studio audience and memorises packs of cards. Inspirational!

This review is from: Harry Lorayne's Page-A-Minute Memory Book (Mass Market Paperback)
I have other books by Harry Lorayne and some of them have more subjects and more content. But if you're new to the trained memory practice or want to learn about it for the first time, this is a good one to start with.
He gives the material in one-page dollops that are easy to understand and put to use. If you read it carefully and do everything he says, you'll find yourself improving your memory right away. However, as another reviewer pointed out, it still requires effort and is a cumulative, growing process -- so don't be surprised if you still find yourself working hard and having to study at it. But it will work if you work it. Most useful to me has been the system of applying numbers to letters and memorizing numbers by translating them into words. (I think that this has been referred to as the "Major System." He makes it accessible and understandable. If you follow his instructions, you won't be disappointed!
