After finishing the book and applying some of the techniques, I can attest to the fact that my mind does operate in this fashion. Memories that are stored as part of a story that are made as multi-sensorial in the mind as possible are easily recalled.
That is why so many of the techniques mentioned in the book are from antiquity and continue to stand the test of time. I never thought about it before, but the book points out that before pen and paper, anything that needed to be preserved had to be memorized. Nice introductory chapters and a technique I learned while listening on the train (for half an hour) that allowed me to come home and impress my kids by having them write down a 50-digit number and then me recalling it digit-by-digit in order for them after studying it for 10 minutes. I love his style of writing.fun and chatty. I gotta say, I have been kinda inspired by this book.
obviously this last thing I am mentioning was extremely helpful not only for my memory but also for my day to day life. and above all else for me the thing he points out and makes very clear throughout the book is to eat, breathe, smell, taste, touch, and fully ENJOY everything that you want to remember. or not drop into an autonomous state and therefore basicly fall into a rut. I am notoriously bad at this stuff and that memory palace thing actually worked!), The Major System (which I havent employed yet but I can see that actually being very easy for remembering numbers), techniques to train your mind to stay out of automation. among many more a couple of these tips include: How to use a memory palace (I know that sounds funny but, TRUST ME. I am actually suprised that the two reviews before me say they weren't able to gather any tips from this book. I actually was able to gather alot of things that I can do to get my memory going in the right direction. but, if you can hang in there, it does get VERY informative. One thing I would like to point out in this review is that about two hours in I also said to myself.
