- Sponge Bob Square Pants.
Sponge Bob Square Pants.
I have a few of Dominic O'Brien.s books and they are all good. I picked this one up at the airport before I was going on holiday. It was cheap and there is as much information as you will need in a lifetime about how to improve your memory.
I keep promising myself that I will do one a week I keep it in my car so that when I have to stop at a railways crossing most mornings and evenings I can dip in and do one of the lessons.
I believe your memory is like any other muscle if you do not exercise it you will lose it. I have always been able to visualise things without any special effort.
Numbers are my downfall as they mean nothing to me. I only have a handful of numbers in my brains and the rest I write down.
The most common thing in my age group (50s) is that they do not update their information. They have acquired a fact from any years ago and they do nothing to change it. I find I can beat the pants off them as quizzes because they are stuck in the past. The same with their views and opinions. I laugh at people who keep harping on about the past as it is the first step to old age.
Try and live in the present and remember things. I listen to the radio and look online at a paper everyday day. I study who directs films writes the books appears in the music groups etc. It keeps your brain working.
I even amazed myself when I announced in answer to the questions which cartoon character lives at Bikini bottom.
Somewhere in the recesses of my brain the answers came Sponge Bob Square Pants.
A great book to keep by your bedside or in the car for those boring moments. Best value for money I have come across!!
My New Years resolution is to read one a week!
Rating: - It really does work!
I was interested in learning how to remember phone numbers, shopping lists and putting names to faces - things I've always had trouble with. After a few hours of studying the techniques in this book those exercises are now child's play! I can't believe these techniques are not more widely known, because anybody can use them to remember just about any kind of information. I amazed myself by remembering a list of 80 random words after just a few minutes of study. The real test was the next morning...had the memory been embedded or would I have forgotten everything? but I can still remember the whole list accurately, without difficulty, and do it backwards too! I'm working on the Dominic System now and what's more, am enjoying it too. A great investment!
Rating: - possibly the most useful book you will ever read!
I have to say i am extremely impressed with this book, unlike other memory books it summarises every essential memory technique into a quick, easy read manual, u may even say it cuts the crap and gets down to it! after doing some of the exercises i was literally like, "WOW"
aside from the advanced domonqiue technique which may take a few hours to complete (still working on it), the main bulk of the book can be read and the tasks completed within around 4 hours, like a previous reviewer said, some of the techniques are just re-itterated to make up numbers so there is 52 techniques to fill the year! but apart from that it is truely an awsome book.
it is insane how such a simple method can improve your memory so much in an instant. for example i learned and still remember the first 15 elements of the periodic table within about 2 minutes, and remembering 20 digit long numbers is a breeze...i am still working on the domonic technique and will be curious to see how large a numbers i can remember, as i was scoring nearly 100% every time with the tasks given.
Domonic O'Brien is a true master when it comes to memory training, and i only wish i had read this book before i went through the torture of college and University exams!
Rating: - The best memory book and so cheap!
I've bought a couple of memory books from various authors including a few from Dominic O'Brien. I agree with the other reviewer this book gives you all the techniques you'll ever need to improve your memory. I also agree that Dominic is the best teacher on memory techniques because he emphasises the importance of location as well as association and imagination. The book is also beautifully designed and would make a wonderful gift. At £4.49 I'll take two!
Rating: - Summed up in one
Unlike all the other books by O'brien, this one has every single memory technique of his. It's odd this has received no reviews, clearly being the best book of the lot.
Every other one of O'Brien's books are very clearly the same material used over and over again. In short, memory is very subjective, so it is hard to objectively say if this book will be easy to use, simply that it did for me and and as a student has reduced things like revision massively in ease and time.
In other words, Dominic when he wants to be appears to be the best memory teacher there is, and being his best book, this should be the only one you need. However, I should warn, clearly to make up '52' he has included some truly awful ones (only a few) which he must have known no-one would try when writing (I am particularly thinking about the one about films).
