I planned on writing an intelligent, articulate review of this book but… now I can’t remember what I was going to say. Just kidding

I shelved this book almost seven years ago because I have been a big fan of Harry Lorayne since I was first in college in the early 90's. I learned his techniques from one of his books and used them as tricks to impress my friends and family. I didn't use them like I should have to get better grades and so I had a hard time in college.
I have discovered something with this book, Harry Lorayne only ever wrote one book on memory techniques. He has published it many times under many names and at various times but has never promised that it was updated because it is the standard program and remains the standard program since its first publication in 1957. It's still great, and it still works and it still is valuable. If you would like to train your memory this book offers the tools to do just that. Because it was published in 1974 the material relating to the dating of months is out of date itself but it can easily be recreated with an online calendar and some attention to detail. Once written out you could memorize the dates for fifteen years in the future including the present year. That is the only dated material I can think of that would need to be amended. The rest is simple enough to defy dating if you have a simple dictionary and a little knowledge of history. (Rye is a liquor and not just a bread)
I recommend this book for the entertainment value you can produce as well as the intrinsic value of being able to train your memory for the better.

Jadi sebenarnya ini buku trik menghafal anti gagal, dilengkapi dengan implementasi di berbagai bidang. Intinya sih kalau mau menghafal sesuatu coba bayangkan visualnya dengan konsep yang paling ga masuk akal, supaya mudah diingat.
Sementara untuk angka-angka, ada padanan katanya, masalahnya kata lain tersebut kalau saya coba terapkan di bahasa Indonesia jadi agak susah (yaiyalah).

Basically you just need the peg system. If you go through and memorize the Peg Words you’ve got the essence of the book applied to various situations. Would have been much more valuable to learn in elementary or middle school for study.
