VERY dissapointing. Absolutely nothing new here. The same rehash of memory techniques seen before. More than half of the first CD is about brain functions, aging, and Alzheimer's. While I see the rational for understanding how the brain works before working to improve memory, this discussion goes on and on (and on and on and on...) and is extremely redundant. In fact the narrator repeats several basic points and phrases numerous times. Sounds more like someone giving an off-the-cuff talk than a lecture or reading. Very little depth to the info. I have other complaints about this audio book but I think I've said enough.

I enjoyed listening to this brief overview of common memory building and memorization techniques. It seems to be a good introductory book to this subject. Six months after I listened to the audiobook, I am still using some of the techniques described by the author. There is also some good background information concerning general health and keeping the brain fed and "exercised".

In reference to the comments by other reviewers concerning redundancy, I don't remember getting the impression of too much repetition when I listened to it. In fact, I remember that repetition is a key to memorization. (Maybe the author was repetitive on purpose!)

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their memory skills, or anyone interested in learning a bit about how memory works in the brain, and how to make it work a bit better.

I was quite disappointed with this book. i thought there are some trick or technique to improve memory. but in fact it is more about common sense stuff. which i already know. and you wonder where the author does his research about the knowledge he gathers.

anyway. i gather if his advice is eat well, be active. then why bother reading this book ?

This book gives some good strategies and tools to improve your memory. But it can drive you crazy in the process because the author would repeat the same point or the same story over and over again. Seems like the author himself has some memory problem and doesn't remember he had already talked about something already.
