And somebody knows other memory Improvement books also then please post here the name of books or something about books.
I wanna to know more memory improvement books.
Note: One thing that i am not mentioned here , âMoonwalking with Einsteinâ because though itâs about memory , itâs neither very practical nor a novel , so it doesnât really have a place on these lists .
That said , itâs a great read on Joshua foerâs journey.(i read this in maybe artofliving website )
There is something different about âHarry Lorainâ. He sounds so passionate,so skilled,so inspiring in this book about memory techniques. I admire this guyâŚ
Books by Dominic OâBrien and Tony Buzan are great and practical introductions and guides to the memory craftâŚ
Another book I think is worth reading is âYour Memory How it works and how to improve itâ by Kenneth L. Higbee. He deposits on the various theories of memory, how the techniques work and memory techniques in daily activities.
He also argues for why memory techniques are useful (against arguments that they are not), and he promotes their use. Itâs also a very interesting read.
âHow to Develop a Super Power Memoryâ by Harry Lorayne is better (in my humble opinion). Itâs an old book â I bought it growing up in the 50s â and doesnât cover memory palaces or some of the newer techniques. But neither does The Memory Book, as a recall. (I havenât read it for a long time, but remember that I was disappointed in comparing it to the older book.)
This was my first memory book and I have read many others, but I own several copies of Lorayneâs book and still refer to it often.
One interesting thing about Lorayne is that he was a professional magician and wrote quite a few magic books, so that influenced his writings about memory. I used to do magic as well and did some tremendous tricks using Lorayneâs techniques.
But in no way am I comparing myself to Harry Lorayne! I was a semi-professional and performed only occasionally. Harry Lorayne was one of the great ones.
I think some young memory turk ought to team up with a nuerosurgeon who has access to an MRI machine and the like and then break new ground in memorizing that can then be easily used by the public
This newbie could frame it as homage to Moonwalking With Einsten and make a financial killing
Sadly, new memory books are just rehashing of Harry Lorayne
What exactly is your definition of a financial killing? There is no market for these kinds of books.
Moonwalking with Einstein hardly falls into the category of books about memory techniques. The reason that book was on the NYT bestsellers list for two months might have to do with the fact that the author had a BA from Yale, was a freelance journalist, and both his older brothers worked in related fields.
I could be misremembering, but I thought I read on this board that Lorayne does not discuss memory palaces in his books? A quick look at the contents shows me he discusses pegs but I donât see anything about architectural memory palaces.
If you are interested in a new memory book that is available for purchase, I myself just finished writing a book entitled âFrom Shrink to Think: A Mental Journey through the Memory Journeyâ. My name is Daniel Guilfoyle, you can look it up on Google and leave comments if wanted, let me know if you are interested, thanks
Hereâs one that should be more popular, if you ask me. Itâs great for anyone and especially good if you want some basics that are also easy to teach children. Friend and fellow Canadian Darren Michalczukâs âBrain Magic: The Memory Codeâ is a great read and I highly recommend it. It is also very funny!
These are very practical books (almost self-help, without offense), that have helped me very much for memory, because they helped me to put order in my life, generate habits, set goals, etc., that allow me to use the tricks that I have learned in memory books and in this forum. I am a very impractical person, so even if many of the things written in these books are obvious and very much is just common sense, still sometimes we need to be reminded about common sense.
