    Product Description

    Good Memory Isn't a Gift,

    It's a Skill You Can Develop.

    Memory Power Shows You How.

    Ever forget where you put your car keys? Or forget a name five seconds after meeting someone? Blank in the middle of a presentation or test? Forgetting is normal but it's not inevitable. Memory Power provides the solution to unleash your inner genius.

    Scott Hagwood is a four-time National Memory Champion, but he wasn't born with photographic recall. At age thirty-six he underwent radiation treatment for cancer, which his doctors warned might cause memory loss.

    Hagwood was determined to beat the odds, so he began to stretch and work his memory like a muscle. He soon learned that simple daily memory drills could restore and even boost his ability to remember faces, numbers, and text. His exercise plan was so effective that eventually his brain began to change physically, becoming more efficient in areas associated with memory.

    Now Hagwood shares with you the easy-to-learn techniques he used to go from average Joe to the first American Grand Master of Memory. You may think you're forgetful or absentminded, but you, too, can tap into your latent but very real memory power.

    5 out of 5 stars Memory Power A++   September 21, 2008
    This book really does address issues specific to aging and memory loss from a lay persons perspective. In addition, the author gives many pointers on compensation techniques to improve or enhance individual memory issues. I have enjoyed the book and as an educator and geriatric social worker working with clients dealing with cognitive issues and dementia, I have learned some new techniques to offer both my students and my clients in the field. A very good book indeed.

    I've read other books describing The Roman Room and other techniques. This book made it make sense to me and practical. I think that is the big plus of this book; the author provides practical applications.

     3 out of 20 found this review helpful

    I went to highschool with Scott, and have been kept up to date on his memory powers. This book is very easy to read. Scott has a gift for narrative writing. As for the effectiveness of his techniques, I can't really say if they work for me or not. I have a very good memory, so a lot of his suggestions were not really useful to me. The Roman Room did not help me, as I have a great eye for detail. Scott provides a lot of charts and a way for the reader to implement the techniques. But since he is an engineer and thinks with the mind of a scientist/mathmetician, they were a little too technical for me and made me stress!




    4 out of 5 stars Very well written! Very easy guide to get you started.   February 8, 2006
     24 out of 25 found this review helpful

    I had found this book after being interested in memory, and I was very glad I bought it. It doesn't get much into mastering the techniques until later in the book.

    The book is VERY easy to follow, and is organized well. I had a hard time putting down the book, as it's really interesting and doesn't discourage you with the too much information at once. I've bought a few books on memory, and I would definitely recommend this as a starter.

    The only complaint I have with the book is how he doesn't show all of the techniques used by the memory champions in great detail. He seems to much prefer the 'Roman Room' method, than the 'Journey Method'. There isn't anything wrong with this, but he didn't seem to mention the 'Journey Method' much, if it all.

    If you're looking for a beginner book getting you into having a better memory, I would highly recommend this book. Though, if you've had an advanced background on mnemonics and memory, most of the information in this book will not be very beneficial to you.

    I hope you too will find this book a great starter to your new memory.
