DESCRIPTION:
The numbers progress from 4 digits to 12. But she also acknowledges that many readers will jump right to Step 7: How to Remember the People You Meet. Along the way, she debunks some popular ideas about memory, noting that by simply exercising you can get benefits that equal those attributed to the nutritional supplement gingko biloba, and that there's nothing about aging that inherently impairs memory. Green suggests mastering one chapter a week, and completing them in order. The drills she prescribes are a lot of fun too. For example, in the first chapter, she demonstrates how "working" memory functions by having you look at a number and then quickly look away and try to recall it. (If you can recall the 12-digit number after glancing at it, you probably don't need this book.) Then she demonstrates long-term memory by having you write down the names of all 50 states, something you probably haven't attempted since grad

I gave the book to my 91 year-old father who reads and studies select chapters and has tried to use the techniques with excellent success. I found Dr. Green's advice applicable to exactly those situations where my memory is most vulnerable: peoples' names, finding stuff I need and tend to misplace, keeping track of my calendar. Now if I could just remember to USE the techniques I'd be in great shape! An excellent book that makes a gre
