"Can't remember to forget you...selective memory", sings Shakira in her new song, "Can't Remember to forget You" (featuring Rihanna). Why is Shakira so forgetful? She blames it on selective memory. It seems that she left a note on her bedpost not to repeat yesterday's mistakes. But...whenever he looks at Shakira, all she can remember  is kissing in the moonlight. The way he has made her feel is the most powerful memory of all...As Shakira demonstrates, emotions are the things memories are made of, how someone has made you feel, an emotional connection. This book will explain to the skeptical reader, in sufficient detail, the mechanism of how memory works. There are tips and techniques for the individual who is searching for greater memory power. As a psychologist, our author is well qualified to appeal to our sense of credulity in memory training. When we lay our doubt aside, we find our author informative, and definitely well versed in her subject matter. In short, I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for the stuff memories are made of. To paraphrase Shakira, "You won't remember to forget."Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Coach A Debate Team
