Product Description

Product Description
Memory isn't a gift, it's a muscle to be stretched. Almost seven years ago, Scott Hagwood heard the dreaded news--he had thyroid cancer. But he defied the memory loss that usually accompanies radiation treatment. With research, determination, and the development of strategic exercises, Hagwood was able to work his memory like a muscle, strengthening it and eventually becoming the only American Grand Master of Memory. Scott learned that the brain changes physically as memory skills improve; his astonishing transformation from mediocre student to international memory champion led Wake Forest Medical Center to perform tests on him. From remembering names to training the mind to juggle multiple bits of information at the same time--thus improving practical and creative ability--Scott cracked the code that can unleash the inner genius within us all. In Memory Power he explains how to boost the power to remember faces, numbers, and text using a simple, step-by-step procedure based on techniques of sight, sound, smell, color, conversation, face recognition, and more. With the same engaging style he used to demonstrate his strategies in America on CBS's The Early Show, ABC's Good Morning America, and myriad others, Scott Hagwood will help readers everywhere develop their memory skills and never forget a name again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, interesting to read, clear, 24 Feb 2007
Clear easy explanations are the hallmark of this book. Not too many lists or tables either.

Memory systems that are commonly used are explained in here for sure, I like the method used to explain using the Roman Room for a start.

This is the book to introduce thoroughly the skills of memory, and the pitfalls that inhibit recall. If you've only the time to work on one single memory book because of a busy schedule, this is it.

I've read many books on memory in the past, however this is the easiest to digest and read through on a first pass.

I'd combine this with Mind Performance Hacks in particular as a great combination to give to anyone needing to boost their memory and brainpower this year.
