Memory Improvement - My New Book Is On The Book Shelves!
I am pleased, rather smug and extremely excited to announce that my latest book (number 3) is now on the bookshelves in both the UK and North America. It is called Memory Power Up, 101 Ways To Instant Recall and as the name suggests it is about how to get the most out of your memory. It is published by Duncan Baird and you can get it from Amazon or from me by clicking here and it is out today.
I was approached by the publisher last year to write a book on memory improvement. I don't know why I didn't do it before given that is what I help people with. I suppose I was content with my two student related books because that is where I did much of my early work.
Anyway it is out now and I am absolutely delighted with it. I was keen to focus on practical advice to help solve the most common memory challenges that people have and that is what I have done. You will find some of the more extreme techniques about how we World Memory Championship finalists do it, but the majority of the advice in it is down to earth, easy to apply for your day to day memory difficulties.
You will find that after reading the book and applying some very simple ideas, you will realise that your memory is far from being deficient, in fact it is really good, you just do not know how to use it.
I have had some really good feedback about the book and was extremely honoured to have 8 times World Champion, Dominic O'Brien write the forward for me. He describes me as a formidable opponent which is a huge compliment from the man who inspired me to do something with my memory in the first place. Tony Buzan, the inventor of the Mind Map has also endorsed the book for me.
If you do get a copy of it, let me know what you think.
