1. I took Mr. Montgomery's three-day speech course in 1974. It was the best skills course I have ever taken. He indicated at that time that he had reviewed over 300,000 speeches for organizations such as Xerox and the American Mangement Association. His course helped change my life for the better.

1 comments about The Ultimate Memory Book: Remember Anything Quickly and Easily.

1. I would've considered myself to have an above-average memory before reading this book. Although I couldn't remember absolutely EVERYTHING I needed to, I got by. When you pick up this book you can take a few tests that show how poor your current memory really is. Then it makes seemingly impossible claims like being able to memorize lists of hundreds of words/numbers, license plates, anyone's name, decks of cards, and books word-for-word. But when you continue reading...and it's not a very big book at all..you start to learn its fairly simple system of relating memory to pictures, and using your own photographic memory. Within a few weeks I learned and applied the techniques and I can amaze anyone. Trust me, you will definately not be disapointed!

2 comments about Human Memory: Theory and Practice.

1. This book presents a highly readable summary of cognitive psychology as related to memory. Covering the evolution of theories of distinct types of memory, the interconnectedness of learning, knowledge and memory, as well as related topics, the connectionist approach to memory, the phenomenon of amnesia and other memory-problems, Baddeley manages to convey a feeling for historical and recent scientific research on the entire subject. Excellent references too :-



2. Baddeley demonstrates an impressive knowledge of memory research, and he communicates this knowledge using a very readable writing-style. This is an excellent book for anyone seeking a solid overview of this area.

1. I'm a speech language pathologists and I do treat cognitive disorders like problems with attention, memory, problem solving and more. I also teach classes on cognitive strategies and Memory Booster Workout is my textbook of choice. It's very easy to read, has self evaluation tools, it's easy to understand and yet scientifically accurate. Very useful in daily life. A great book. I highly recommend it to anybody!

1. This book is full of useful tricks to help one retain memory and become a better thinker. However, unlike many other books of its type, it is highly entertaining and full of amusement. There are tidbits of information that trivia buffs will find useful, but for the most part the book is a refresher course for everthing they taught you (or at least tried to teach you) in school. If you're even vaguely interested in improving your mind and want to learn all the stuff you found so boring in school, this book is a wonderful aid.

5 comments about Age-Proof Your Mind: Detect, Delay, and Prevent Memory Loss--Before It's Too Late.

1. I checked this book out of the library. I'm almost finished and I've found that it is full of good information for those concerned about memory loss. It is the only book I've read on the subject so I can't compare it to any others. It is easy to read.



2. The subject matter became an interest of our family because my mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimers. My wife and I are in our mid-fifties and we wanted to get scientific data on any preventative measures.
   
   Dr. Tan did an excellent job covering this debilitating disease-in a way anyone could understand the data and preventative measures recommended.
   
   It was an excellent read and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a level of knowledge to where they can adjust their current lifestyle to better prevent this disease.



3. One night I spent a good hour frantically searching for my cell phone, which I thought I had misplaced. Eventually, I reached into my jacket pocket out of habit and guess what I found? My cell phone of course! Complete memory lapses had been happening to me a lot - more than I could attribute to just being tired - and this is what ultimately inspired me to purchase this book. After I recently "misplaced" my cell phone, a book offering to "age-proof" my mind was too much to resist.
   
   I was honestly convinced that my memory was becoming like a sieve. But, reading Tan's book I learned that memory loss is reversible and avoidable. I took the evaluation for mental fitness, got tips on healthy aging, suggestions for brain exercises and even facts on the connection between diet and memory.
   
   All in all, I found this book to be very thorough and helpful for those who think their memory is slipping. After reading this book, I discovered that online services like Agogus.com help improve memory, as they focus on enhancing mental fitness. Agogus is particularly fun, with great topics to read; I'm actually having more fun socially too. And - I haven't lost my cell phone lately, so it must be working!



4. I found this book to be full of excellent advice and tips by which I might be able to at least delay the onset of Alzheimer's, which runs in my family. I plan to utilize several of the techniques mentioned. I would recommend it to anyone who currently has ALZ in their family.



5. ...but actual nutrient and supplement advice for hanging onto your marbles a little while longer. There's also more exercises in there than the run-of-the-mill Sudoku and crossword puzzle games.
