I got it from Amazon yesterday. I've skimmed through it at this point, but it seems interesting. It outlines a few different techniques for remembering things, which mostly center around visualization and silly pictures. I don't know how well it is going to work, but I think it has promise.

I'd love to hear a further review as you continue on into the book and see how well it works.

OK, ... wait, uh, ... what did you say again? ...Could you repeat that one more time?

I've never heard of the book, but I checked out the reviews and it seems to have gotten 4 1/2 out of 5 stars on a lot of sites. Let us know if it works for you!! I just may have to purchase the book too.

I read the book a few years ago when i was trying to become a respiratory tech (dropped because the teachers SUCKED). Anyway, it helped me here and there, but to be honest a classmate helped me MUCH more.

Anything we had to memorize, she set to song & THAT stuck in my head. To this day, I STILL remember the 4 gas properties (she set them to "Oh Christmas Tree"). Unfortunately, I am not creative enough to come up with my own songs, so flashcards and repetition still seem to work best for me.

I haven't heard of the book, but a technique I have used in the past for memorization is by "reading aloud." That way, you are using visual, oral, and auditory techniques to take in the information instead of your JUST your visual. Seeing as how the information "taken in" from these three techniques go to different parts of the brain (from my understanding), the more likely you are to memorize the information you are reading.
