Remember Every Name Every Time: Corporate America's Memory Master Reveals His Secrets
Ever been introduced to someone and then almost immediately forgotten their name? This universal quandary is not the fault of faulty recall, according to "memory trainer" Benjamin Levy, but rather a mind that is not properly schooled in name-retention techniques. Levy, known for wowing groups of 150 by reciting all of their names shortly after meeting them, describes two different procedures inRemember Every Name Every Timefor honing skills that can be used in any personal or professional setting. With abundant photos to illustrate integral physical behaviors, as well as anecdotes and quotes drawn from Levy's impressive roster of corporate clients--like Charles Bronfman of Seagram and Laurence Tisch of Loews--he fully explains how to implement his basic technique (the verbally oriented FACE approach, which teaches you to imprint correct names in the first place and then link them to specific faces) and his advanced method (the visual NAME system, which incorporates images and even sounds with your own imagination for longer term and larger group settings). While both certainly require a good bit of practice in order to effectively pull off, the techniques in this book are as clearly stated as its title and should noticeably help anyone who seriously applies them.--Howard Rothman
