Read this book in my teens; absolutely amazing

This was a fun book through which I could learn tricks and tips for remembering things. I enjoyed reading the book and my memory did seem to improve with the aid of this book, but the book was more about memory tricks that you can flaunt and captivate an audience with and showcase your memory skills. You can read this for some fun, but don't expect any miracles from it.

It wouldn't be an overstatement if I say this book changed my life. :-)

One of the first memory books, this looking for memory tricks will realize there is nothing new in content. however, Lorayne's telling, while old fashioned, is enjoyable, and I liked the jokes that headed each chapter.

While the text and tone are old fashioned, the majority of the material is just as relevant today - except the phone numbers, lol. Seriously, though, the method behind memorization remains useful, even if there are no letters.

I impressed a lot of people with the memory techniques explained in this book

Interesting tips on how to remember stuff better. I learned I need to connect and visualize things together in order to remember. Oh and pay attention. Worthwhile to try if you’re bored.

The writer was a magician who also used to perform amazing memory stunts.Here he goes into the detail of his Link and Peg method for remembering all kinds of things.

I read it,it was good fun.Some of the gimmickry
even worked and one could do a few memory stunts of one's own.

But what it didn't take into account was the inevitable effects of ageing.Then,such tricks don't help.

2.5 stars

Though a couple of age old techniques that seems outdated, this non fiction title stood out for its engaging writing. Despite the old school techniques, the book stood out in the minds of young students. Not a book to miss in any era of reading class.

Possible the best - and certainly most practical - self-help book you will ever read. The method he outlines just simply WORKS and works instantly and amazingly. Anyone who knows me knows that I am  not easy to impress yet this book does what it says on the lid.

The memory method Harry teaches uses crazy outlandish associations together with a peg system of memory. take the effort to get past the first few boring chapters and onto the method itself.

Harry is a magician and many magicians use methods like these to perform memory feats.

This book got me through my O levels and A levels since I did hardly any work (OK hardly any = none).

PS Anybody who gives it a score less than 4 stars probably is even lazier than I am and didn't even bother to learn the peg words.

Good tricks to remember about anything: phone numbers, names, dates, actions, etc.

كتاب ممتاز يستعرض فيه صاحبه عدة أنظمة تساعد على تذكر أشياء من قبيل القوائم، التواريخ، جدول المواعيد، الأسماء، الوجوه، مفردات اللغات الأجنبية و غيرها...الكاتب مقدم عروض تعتمد على خدع التذكر التي فصلها في الكتاب لذلك لن تجد حديثا عن النورونات أو كيفية تشكل الذكريات أو الحصين...بل فقط شرحا للأنظمة التي تقوم عليها العروض...برأيي المحتوى ممتاز و سيتأكد القاريء من فعالية هذه الأنظمة...شخصيا أحببت المحتوى و بدأت في تطبيقه.
