I first read The Memory Book by Harry Lorrayne and Jerry Lucas in between my 7th and 8th grade years in 1974. I was the only teenager visiting my aunt and uncle in Boulder, CO. I was amazed.
I have since used the techniques, and their counterparts to finish high school, college, and graduate school.
Additionally, I floated through high school because I could remember, but hit college and struggled through two failed attempts, discovering I hadn’t built any study skills! I subsequently spend 7 months studying study skills.
Combining my new skills with Lorrayne’s and Lucas’ earlier instruction, I cruised on down the road. I synthesized my search into a course that I taught in the 1990s, on the island of Crete, Greece, for the chapel women’s group: How to Memorize Scripture.
