How to memorize anything (Aditi singhal)
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 , āMoonwalking with Einsteinā because though itās about memory , itās neither very practical nor a novel , so it doesnāt really have a place on these lists .
That said , itās a great read on Joshua foerās journey.(i read this in maybe artofliving website )
There is something different about āHarry Lorainā. He sounds so passionate,so skilled,so inspiring in this book about memory techniques. I admire this guyā¦
Books by Dominic OāBrien and Tony Buzan are great and practical introductions and guides to the memory craftā¦
Another book I think is worth reading is āYour Memory How it works and how to improve itā 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. Itās also a very interesting read.
āHow to Develop a Super Power Memoryā by Harry Lorayne is better (in my humble opinion). Itās an old book ā I bought it growing up in the 50s ā and doesnāt cover memory palaces or some of the newer techniques. But neither does The Memory Book, as a recall. (I havenāt 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 Lorayneās 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 Lorayneās 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 donāt 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 āFrom Shrink to Think: A Mental Journey through the Memory Journeyā. 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
Hereās one that should be more popular, if you ask me. Itās great for anyone and especially good if you want some basics that are also easy to teach children. Friend and fellow Canadian Darren Michalczukās āBrain Magic: The Memory Codeā 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.
