With all of the data available to us these days, it's no wonder that we have information overload and sometimes have difficulty processing all of it. So, when reading this book on Memory, I found it quite informative, useful, and am looking forward to applying some of the techniques.This book was written in a conversational tone with good advice spiced with a dash of humor. But, what I found to be really interesting was how, throughout the book, memory techniques were being applied as I read. For example, after a couple of chapters, I realized the following chapter created a segue from the previous chapter to reiterate its points and that, in turn, made the previous chapter's topics and techniques stay in my mind all the more.While admittedly, there are numerous books out there on memory and memory techniques, I was surprised to learn about two more methods I hadn't really been aware of or if I was, I wasn't aware of the proper terminology. It was also nice to reread and remember techniques I had heard of, but needed a refresher on, which I can and should apply to my professional life as it can be quite chaotic so they afford some bit of control.Interestingly, I was pleasantly surprised to see a chapter on forgetfulness. It shifted my reading focus to realize why we needed books on memory and this one in particular. It was simple to read and understand, even with some of the more complex techniques.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. An easy read for a complex topic with useful and informative tips and techniques that can and should be often used as a reference to help us keep all of our information remembered.
