Bored by my assignments, I picked up this book in my Kindle for a quick read in my break, and little did I know I have finished two chapters because I was so engrossed.
From the outset, I already liked the utopian note of memory that the author tried to associate with , especially on the relationships between it and increased productivity and application in everyday lives. Reading this short paragraphs of his thinking also made me ponder about how the use and connotation linked to memory has evolved from the medieval centuries up until now.
Will post an update once I am finished with this book : )
it’s a quality book. i enjoyed. even bought a book it was based on
I loved that book! Try “Memory Craft” by Lynne Kelly, too. These techniques are actually pretty easy to learn and make a huge difference to the way you think - like a software upgrade for your brain.
I’ve not heard of that one. Is it also about memory palaces?
Yes, with a lot of cool info on pre-literate cultures and how they actually used memory palaces and other memory techniques in real life.
Added that to my list, thanks :)
I might give it a shot. How long is it?
I spent around 45 mins reading the first two chapters. I think it will be a 7/8-hour read for me in 1 sit.
I won’t be able to finish in one sitting. I am not that dedicated reader. Most of the time, I can only read for half an hour in one sitting.
Never heard of the book. If you give good ratings, then I’ll add it to my wishlist!
This book led me to waste sooooooooooo much time trying to memorize stuff. Wonderful book, but don’t let it trick you. It’s a lot harder than it seems like.
I love that book and sometimes bring it up on sales calls. I’ve gifted it to friends on multiple occasions. Great find, it’s a terrific read!
