A memory improvement book,
By Peter Amabile (Brisbane, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Develop a Perfect Memory (Hardcover)
Dominic O'Brien developed his own system which uses (famous) people linked with numerals from 0-99. Foe example, he uses the digit 00 - as Olive Oyle, popeyes girlfriend. It is clever as it is different from the phonetic system which Buzan, Lorrayne and the like developed. He then links them together using the Loci system; a different location with a different person etc. If you a familiar with the phonetic system i.e 1 = t,d; 2 = n etc why change? Every memory improvement book uses word association and imagery and this book is no exception. Both need to be developed and practiced. It doesn't take one or two lessons to learn to play the piano, so why should memory improvement be any different?

Learn from the master!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Develop a Perfect Memory (Hardcover)
Dominic o'brien teaches how to memorise lists, languages, numbers, names, general facts and lots of other things. He explains how his simple methods transformed him from an absent minded dyslexic to the world memory champion.One of his feats include memorising 35 packs of cards in 35 seconds! much practice is needed to really use his techniques in every day life. however i managed to memorize all the american states and their capitals in one hour and all the american presidents and their period of office in 30 minutes. i did this without much practice. this book will improve your memory and concentration if practice the techniques he teaches.

DOMINIC IS THE KING OF MEMORY IMPROVEMENT,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Develop a Perfect Memory (Hardcover)
In my opinion this is the best book on memory improvement that I've found, I've been studing memory training for few months and I can memorize 155 digits in 5 min, deck of cards in 2.5 min so I should know what I'm talking about .Dominic's system's are so easy and effective, his method for languages are just brilliant. His use of the journey technique is so logical and effective. My only wonder is why is this not taught in SCHOOLS????? So I have only one more thing to say try to find the book and buy it NOW!!!!!
