Learn Anything And Everything. Starting Now.

Install Knowledge Into Your Brain Using The Very Same Memory Technique Used By The World's Top Memorizers.

What if you were suddenly granted the ability to download and install vast sums of knowledge into your brain...

What would you learn if you discovered your memory bank wasn't a tiny cupboard but was in fact an enormous warehouse?

What would you learn if you could cram your mind full of facts and figures?

How many people could you impress with your encyclopaedic knowledge of a subject they assume you know nothing about?

Are you studying for an exam and want a better way to remember important information?

Starting here, with the list of Shakespeare's 37 plays (in chronological order of course), and the novels of Charles Dickens, you will learn how to commit endless amounts of data to memory. Half an hour from the instant you start reading this book you will be able to recite, forwards and backwards, the titles of all of Shakespeare's plays... BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

Through actual demonstration, you will have mastery of a technique that will allow you to do this with any topic of your choosing.

The Memory Grand Masters

The Memory Palace technique of memorizing is at least 2500 years old and relies solely on utilising your brain's natural strengths. Also known as the Journey Method, or the Method of Loci, the Memory Palace technique is used by every top memorizer in the world.

Inspired by the teachings of top memorizers, 'The Memory Palace' is your introduction and practical guide to storing and retrieving anything in that beautiful head of yours.

EXTRACT from "The Memory Palace - Learn Anything And Everything"

"Do you know all of Charles Dickens' novels? Do you know all of Shakespeare's plays? Do you know the world's longest rivers? The most-populated countries? Can you name every President the United States has ever had? Can you list the entire British Monarchy all the way back in time to 757AD? Can you reel off the geological time periods? Can you name every 'Best Picture' Oscar Winning Movie since 1928? Can you reproduce the Periodic Table of Elements if asked to do so?

If not, why not?

Well, probably because you haven't fed the information into your brain in a way it can remember.

Instead of having memories "in there somewhere", with everything in your head swirling around like a shaken cocktail, you will have an organised library of information. Learning in this way means when you come to recall something, you go to exactly where that memory is stored inside your head. You can even look around at the related memories.

A Memory Palace makes memories accessible, clear, vivid, and most importantly, unforgettable."

A clever strategy - just one thing missing

May 6, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Let me start on the positive from someone who had never come across this method before – it’s quite remarkable. The ease with which you can recall lists of items is quite extraordinary. The exercise within lets you remember all of Shakespeare’s plays in order with striking ease. It has been some months now since I read the book and they are still happily rattling around in my mind as neat as they were when I learned them.

The limitation in my opinion is that it doesn’t really change the way in which you learn – but let me be clear on what I mean there. With regards to a catalogue of items it’s a remarkable method but I am not sure about improving general ‘learning’. For instance, if I read a book on economics as an example, the material to be remembered would have to be put into a list of items to use this method. While this may help with key facts, I’m not sure how I would catalogue more conceptual items which means that I still need to learn them in a fairly rote fashion (but that’s me).

Overall though this is a method that’s worth learning and is certainly worth the price of the book. As I say though be sure that you aren’t expecting to recite concepts word for word – unless you break them into a list first – but that may suit you just fine.

BIRDMAN OF QUAIL HOLLOW

ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUE LINKING OBJECTS TO SPATIAL LOCATIONS

April 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Very similar approach to many other books on the subject. In my own personal opinion, in order to be really good at memory challenges, it takes as much energy and time to follow the "memory palace" approach as it does the rote memorization approach. Memory rentention does not appear to be THAT much different, regardless of approach, at least for me anyway. Most of us are not going to be entering memorization competitions. We simply wish to improve our memory retention. Regardless of process, a reliable memory is one of the most important assets a human being can possess. Comprehending what has been retained in memory is even more important. This book offers a good opportunity to learn yet another way to enhance memory, but it does not address comprehension.

Made me a bit giddy to see how fast I could memorize

February 21, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really love this book. (1) It is short and to the point. One of the things I love about self help books is that they explain everything and one of the things I hate about self help books is that they explain everything and make me wait until 3/4 of the way into the book to try the help. This one gets you doing something in no time. Just enough information to try it out. (2) It works. Really really cool. He is right that once you learn the list of Shakespeare plays you cannot forget them. Now my two cents: It is one thing to memorize a list and it is another to understand what you memorize. So my advice is to look up any words you do not understand so that you will have understanding as well as retention.

Effective and To the point

May 2, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Memory palaces are much more easy to see than to explain. This book shows the basic techniques with a wonderfully thought out example that hits the highlights.

After this book, you will be able to use the technique. Later you can read up on the more advanced concepts.

The hardest thing about memory palaces is getting started. This book solves that issue.

Why is isn't this common knowledge?

July 26, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Jobs, meetings, relationships, school exams/projects/discussions, and day-to-day navigation would benefit so greatly from this simple process that it's difficult to imagine why it isn't a staple of early education. Our ability to memorize is an enormous factor in how we are judged, both professionally and personally, and this technique is so effective and adaptable that I'm baffled as to why we don't embrace it at a national level and introduce it early into our educational development.

Ok, grandiose outrage complete...this is a great technique taught in a simple and masterful way. .Do yourself, your relationships, and your future a favor and start reading it ASAP.

A good place to start if you are interest in the Memory Palace concept.

December 27, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've been eager to learn about the concept of a memory palace for some time and felt this book was priced right in order to get my feet wet. The author dives right in and proceeds in building your first memory palace with a chronological list of William Shakespeare's works. I was able to pick it up quickly enough and had all of Shakespeare's play committed to memory using this fun yet bizarre method. The book is very practical in it's approach and is a good introduction to the concept but does not give enough information for one to proceed in utilizing the concept on one's own accord.
