Alright, so I decided to check this ebook out called "Memory Improvement Techniques." Now I'm not a big fan of ebooks, but I've been getting used to them more or less. I didn't buy this book for myself, I bought it for my mom (although apparently a lot of parent buy this book for their kids as it helps with studying). I bought this book for my mom as she has been experiencing a lot of memory lapses because of the surgeries she has had over the past few years. What I did, is I printed this book out for her when I bought it and gave it to her.
How's the book? I honestly found it helpful. I mean, don't expect this book to go out and make you remember what you wore on January 16th 1984. I flipped through the book and read quite a bit of it to determine if it was actually worthwhile for my mom. The author simply gives you a bunch of exercises to help you strengthen your memory. What I find even more helpful though is that he gives the reader a bunch of tips and tricks to help them remember things. It's honestly pretty impressive. He takes something very complex and very scientific and translates it into language that anyone can understand.One such method my mom told me she likes the most is the link method. In this method he shows the reader how to create links between things so as to trigger a response in the mind.
And that's honestly the strength of the book. Not only does he tell you how to strengthen your memory, he actually gives you concrete methods in which to actually improve your memory for the future and how to remember small specific details.
So that's my review. To sum up, don't expect anything earth shattering, but expect to be impressed with hw solid this book is. The author throws in quite a huge number of extras like memory game software and a library of books that are renowned to be the best books about memory improvement on the market. My mom is surely going to benefit from this book and I'm sure hoping that this will restore her confidence in her memory again.
