Book Description

Nelson Dellis, in email: November 23 2010:
"I have your book and I though it was really well done :) This is THE book I recommend to family and friends. To everybody!"

March 2011: Nelson won the US Memory Championships.

Better memory is not just useful for winning Memory Championships, but for every day tasks. Your mind has enormous potential - use it!

Memo was number 1 on the bestseller lists in Norway and Denmark for six consecutive months. But more importantly, it has helped people get a better life. Since 2006, the author has received more than 7000 grateful emails from readers. Readers that have used Memo successfully for exams, learning languages, delivering speeches and presentations, remembering dances, card tricks and much more.

As Antti R. from Finland wrote in an email:
"I have read memory books before, but your approach is by far the best: it's like your best friend telling you how the techniques really work. Thanks!"

Some memory books claims that you can remember names for the rest of your life or remember absolutely everything in a book - just by using a particular technique. Oddbjorn By set a memory world record in 2006 and knows the best memorisers in the world. And he knows that there exists no memory technique which can make you quickly learn and remember a whole textbook. Nor is it possible to remember everything, forever. Even the greatest memory athletes in the world forget names and Passports occationally.

But it s possible to improve your memory. By learning Memo.

The author experienced that when he almost lost the Norwegian Memory Championships to readers of his book. One of them even became a Grand Master at the World Memory Championships 2009 (a feat accomplished by only five people). Memo is indeed the book to make you a memory champion. Or more importantly: the book that improves your memory, lifts your grades, helps you deliver great presentations - so that you can accomplish your goals.

Memo draws on the most effective techniques from ancient Greece, international memory competitions and methods developed by the author. The purpose is to spend less time, while remembering more. Instead of using the hammer - repeating, repeating, repeating you can use Memo. Learn languages, anatomy, geography and speeches.

"Thanks for a life-changing book. It saved me when I was in trouble. In my second year of university I failed on two exams. I panicked. But then I read about your book, and that made the whole difference! Fantastic!"
Anna S, Sweden

I need to thank you! Your book must have helped me a lot. I m so in university in autumn! ;) I applied to helsinki university to 2 programs and they accepted me to both! I still cannot believe this, it means that I will be a teacher one day. This school takes 5 years so I for sure have to use your techniques later on. 1600 people applied to this school and they accepted 120. I was one of them! Thanks! Anna Sorvari, Finland

If you are a tad forgetful like me, this book will remind you to remember! It contains great tips for clearing cloudy memories. --Top 10 Books on Self-Improvement, allwomenstalk.com

I just had the chance to apply the techniques to an exam for the first time: I memorized loads of names, dates, and detailed information about literary history. Let me say that I have *very* bad exam anxiety, especially for essays. Using Memo made a remarkable difference. Focusing was much easier as well. And yes, I got an A, and still remember the all the information quite vividly. --Brede Olsen, Norway

5.0 out of 5 stars It actually works October 21, 2007
Format:Paperback
Read some good reviews about this book and decided to try it.
Was not disappointed..., following the book I was pleasantly surprised
when I actually was able to remember large amounts of information
without writing it down on paper.
It`s not like a "free lunch", you do have to make an effort, but if you do,
you will be rewarded and it`s something you can use the rest of your life.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book to improve my memory for job interviews and names. I have always had a hard time to remember especially names and phone numbers.

The book takes a structured approach to memorize phone numbers, names, academics, calendar items and much more. If you have never read anything about memory then I would highly recommend spending some time on the memory techniques in this book - It will prove very valuable.

The book is very easy to read and Oddbjřrn By have a funny and inspiring attitude, which makes the book fun to read. In order to get results you need to spend a little time to practice. It is not a free lunch, but if you spend time I am quite sure you will become impressed how easy you can remember all 50 American states without hesitating. In alphabetic order. The same could be done with your anatomy or accounting curriculum.

The downside is that you need to keep practicing otherwise you will forget the memory techniques, but if you spend some time I believe the book is very useful!

I have personally used the techniques for job interviews, in Management Consulting, solving cases where you need to hold a lot of information in your head while demonstrating your analytical skills at the same time. Here the techniques proved very useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memo - Oddbjorn By July 6, 2008
Format:Paperback
This is by far the most informative book i have EVER read, it is totally amazing. The methods work. Just incase you missed that 'IT REALLY WORKS'. The more time you spend in the beginning setting your mindset, the more effective the methods! On the other hand, if you just want some tips on remembering everyday things, this book is full of them, you don't even have to spend time on them, they just work! This book can be used for numerous objectives, for the rest of your life. My children are all using the different methods for bettering their school grades, they all feel that this book should be part of the schools' essential reading list and a part of the curriculum. It is really fun to read, the author comes across as honest, very informative and entertaining! My family and I recommend this book wholeheartedly!:-)
