The memory techniques definitely work! But unfortunately for me, I've already read Harry Lorayne's memory book. Many of the core concepts are identical but Memory Masterminds gives different twists to certain things...like how to memorize numbers, for example. Although great for people who would rather listen than read...Harry Lorayne's book is better bang for the buck! Also some of the lessons in Memory Masterminds could be shortened to 5 minutes but he takes an extra 15 minutes relating stories and hyping up his product...entertaining but not when you're short on time. Also the "Self Improvement" section isn't that "breakthrough." If you've never read a memory help book before and you'd rather listen than read, AND you can afford and extra $50, then buy it. But you can get the same core principles from Harry Lorayne! Bottom line: great stuff but mostly the "same stuff," only on tape.

Dave Farrow's book/ course Memory Mastermind makes use of old techniques in a novel manner. The technology of images which is the basis of the programme has been available for a while, but that which makes this course relevant and useful is the applications. He combines image technology with 'mind and confidence boosting' techniques and plain common sense to produce a motivational course helpful to anyone who wishes to remember any material whatsoever.

The course is worthwhile to anyone who has never read or researched anything about memory techniques and who would like to improve his/her memory. It will certainly aid and increase retention and the capacity to study. In will also provide useful tips to anyone who does have a grounded knowledge of memory techniques.

I found the course to be fun and enjoyable. Though the organization of the tapes could be better, the exercises are kept short and sweet and you can work through at your own time and at your own pace.

I read this book flying cross country. It changed my life by allowing me to clear my mind of useless thoughts. I will keep this book on my shelf of books for a long time and share it with only those close to me.
