Ageless Memory 2008-07-01
This is a great book. I notice I'm not forgetting things as readily as I did. I can now tell you my safe deposit box number, my drivers license number, my car plates, and various phone numbers. It's also helped me to remember people's names. Great buy. Other programs want hundred(s) of bucks to improve your memory and prevent altzimer's. This does the same thing.

Memory exercises 2008-05-26
I had read a Harry Lorayne book as a teenager many many years ago and found the techniques useful then.
This book allowed me to revisit his lessons as an elder retired physician and is helping me to cope with the usual senior moments that we all encounter.
Highly recommended.

Best Harry Lorayne Memory Book Yet! 2008-04-08
I have many of Harry's books, and love him! He is such a sincere person and gives his all to us the reader.
Naturally if you have ordered this book, you are in a situation that you may be feeling concerned that your mind is feeling fuzzy, or that you want to keep your brain young and vibrant. You will not be dissapointed in this book at all.
I especially liked how positive the books overall feeling is. That our brains shouldn't be deteriorating and actually should be sharper than ever. I have tried the techniques in the book, and as long as I apply them, I have noticed an improvement! I now know my Bible books forwards, and backwards. Have memorized several scriptures, and am partially thru the Sermon on The Mount.
Our brains are wonderfully made, and we should take care of it. So go ahead, whatever you decide to memorize, it will help you in middle age and beyond. Thanks Harry for the encouragment and help to sharpen up!
You can improve your memory, regardless of your age 2008-04-04
I typically have difficulty remembering three things: names, faces
and the third thing . . . geez, I can never remember that third thing.
So that is why I was excited to come across AGELESS MEMORY
by Harry Lorayne . . . long
recognized as the world's foremost memory-training expert, I've
been following his career for some 40 years and have read
just about all his other books.
Yet this one had particular interest to me, in large part because of
its appealing subtitle: SIMPLE SECRTS FOR KEEPING YOUR
BRAIN YOUNG . . . and who wouldn't be interested in that premise?
I certainly was, but soon realized that I had to change my thinking
around so as to not fall into this common trap:
* A man called and said he had "the worst memory in the world." He
desperately needed my help. The first thing I told him was that he'd
have to get in line behind all the other people who've told me that they
have the worst memories. (What a great excuse "bad memory" is: Don't
depend on me for anything 'cause I'll forget." The fact of the matter is
that every time you say, "I have a bad memory, " you put another hole
in that sieve of your memory--and give people past fifty a bad name!
My goal here is to get you to brag about your great memory; and each
time you do, you'll plug up one of those holes and tell the world that older
can be better.)
All you need to do is follow this key suggestion:
* Sure, what we refer to as "memory" may get less and less reliable
as we age. I know that when I'm not applying my systems, I sometimes
fumble over words and familiar things may fall into that "senior moment"
abyss. But that never happens with any information, any word, any name,
any number, and anything that I'm interested in. That's my point.
Lorayne even relates his ideas to organizing your desk:
* It's a cliche rule, but one that surely works. The rule is DO IT NOW.
My sub-rule is, try not to let a paper go through your hands more than
once. Because if you do, what too often happens is, you drop the paper
somewhere on your desk with the thought, "I'll take care of it later." It gets
covered up with other papers and you never see it again! It's forgotten. Take
care of it now; then you can't forget it.
Lastly, I liked how the author got me thinking throughout the book with
some intriguing exercises at the end of each chapter . . . perhaps my
favorite was this one:
* A rich Arab dies and leaves his seventeen camels to his three sons.
The camels are to be divided as follows:
Half to the first son, one-third to the second son, and one-ninth
to the third son.
The three sons can't seem to work it out without chopping up
some of the camels!
A wise old Arab happens by on his camel and solves the problem
immediately--without cutting up any camels.
Do some mental exercise; try to figure out how the wise old Arab did it.
Answer:
The wise old Arab simply adds his own camel to the 17, bringing the total
number of camels to 18. Then, the camels are divided as follows:
½ of 18 is 9 camels for number one son.
1/3 of 18 is 6 camels for number two son.
1/9 of 18 is 2 camels for number three son.
After each son takes his allotted camels (9+6+2=17), the wise old Arab's
camel remains. He mounts it and rides off into the sandstorm.
