Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Playby Anonymous

June 10, 2003: It may be due to my search for a book that would truly help me improve my memory, not only for the short-run, but especially for the long-run, that I found this book disappointing. I find this book good for those who want to get a good great on a test or win a game without caring how much information the mind will retain post the occasion. Rather than developing our memory, that sort of memorization system will only help us know the information for mostly the time being. My interest in developing my memory is NOT to memorize a list of words right before an exam, or tricks for the bar; But rather, to be able to access it at a later time with more ease. By now I may be sounding too critical, and I apoligize if I am being interpreted as ungrateful, yet while I appreciate the authors' approach, I also think there are much better ways to increase the effectiveness of our brain, in this case our memory.

April 11, 2000: I honestly don't understand why Harry Lorayne's systems aren't being taught more in public schools. I don't doubt for a moment that students would be able to learn the material they are taught much more easily by applying these systems. To be honest, I was very skeptical about any memory improvement system, but then I saw someone do a demonstration for me, and I decided to get the book. When I did, I actually amazed myself and other people using the systems described in this book!
