In the building of character and individuality, the memory plays an important part, for upon the strength of the impressions received, and the firmness with which they are retained, depends the fibre of character and individuality. Our experiences are indeed the stepping stones to greater attainments, and at the same time our guides and protectors from danger. -from "Memory: Its Importance" New Thought proponents at the turn of the 20th century sought to use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves. One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this 1913 book, to show the reader how to cultivate the memory in such a way as to improve one's entire life. Atkinson's method is not geared to mere recollection of facts: it encourages a holistically "correct seeing, thinking, and remembering." With secrets hidden for almost a century, this book will teach you to train the eye as well as the ear to improve your ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was born in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India, Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.

not what I thought,

This review is from: MEMORY: How to Develop, Train and Use It (Paperback)
Not for me. I bought it, thinking it would be more accessible to my needs. A bit dated. I couldn't get into it.

Old Memory Still New,

This review is from: MEMORY: How to Develop, Train and Use It (Paperback)
Reading a book written in 1913 that still rings true today was a real joy. Found it to be a joy and much better than most of the more current publications on this topic. The practical advice is timeless and life changing.

Learning how to Remember Everything!,
By An Avid Reader (Sausalito, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It (Paperback)
What an incredible find this book is. I have read others on how to build my memory but none as cohesive and extensive as this one. My memory started to improve as soon as I started doing some of the exercises. Don't let the date 1912 make you think that this book won't help you. It will!
