Maximizing Your Memory Power
by Danielle C. Lapp

This is essentially part of the Barron's Business Success Series, which also included 'Creative Problem Solving', 'Conquering Stress', 'Speed Reading for Business', 'Speed Reading for Professionals', & 'Time Management'. Each book under this series is designed for no-frills quick reading, easy digestion, & yet packed with useful expert advice.

I had owned quite a good collection of the books under this series, since the early nineties.

As a matter of fact, besides understanding the strategies to prompt memory recall, I got out a lot of good stuff about high performance reading from this book when I first read it during the nineties.

My favourite parts & chapters from the book:

Part II: Attention Management;
Chapter 5: Selective Attention;
Chapter 6: Power of Verbalisation;
Chapter 7: Power of Visualisation;

Part III: Organisation Management;
Chapter 8: Principle of Association;
Chapter 12: Reading Retention;
Chapter 14: Strategies to Prompt Recall;

In terms of learning points, Chapter 12 gave me the most return of investment. The author had introduced the work of French reading expert, Bettina Soulez.

It was from here that I began to synthesise the research findings with the work of many other authors & realised the power of the human mind during the process of reading - I understood what I need to know exactly & what I need to avoid exactly in order to achieve high performance in reading.

To end this review, I would say this: Memory is integral to reading, as well as to our daily lives. This book has most of the answers.

The author's writing style is crisp & concise. Best of all, it's high content information.
