There are a ton of books and videos on improving your memory. A lot of people would like a photographic memory. It would be awesome, they think. Be like Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) and never forget anything. I’m not sure if I’d want that. There are sad and bad moments in time that people would want to forget. Unfortunately, most of those times never leave, they live on in the scars.
“Photographic memory is a detestable myth,” he said. “Doesn’t exist. In fact, my memory is quite average. All of us here have average memories.” Ed Cooke young grand master from England. Memory Champion.
This book, however, is NOT a book on memory techniques, but rather a book on techniques that memory champions use to remember. There is a lot of history and some (filler?) info on Roman and Greek memory techniques and Chicken Sexers. Interesting facts, but I think they are not needed.
This book reads like a long article in a magazine. For me, this book was quite dull most of the time. And I was using the audiobook version.
If you are interested in memory championships, then this book might be good for you.
