Harry Lorayne's Page-a-Minute Memory Book

I read this book 30 years ago. I had a good memory to start. But this book enabled to easily remember long lists of things (like 70 phone numbers) in a short time. I just bought the book for my two high school students and I believe it will help whenever they need to memorize things. The book is very easy to read and explains the ideas in a very easy way. I believe it is appropriate for younger students (4th or 5th grade on). You can generalize the methods to different tasks. It improves as you use it.

I graduated with good grades from high school and college due to this author. Builds a fantastic memory for anyone, though initially takes a lot of work if you need to memorize 50+ pages of notes (which I did successfully for a test).

Good read easy read i reccomend for a youngster

Another of Harry Lorayne's useful books to capitalize on our inherent abilities. Perhaps not my first choice of his work, but sufficient to provide another perspective with copious examples of his system's application. Recommended to all students and those seeking to improve their memory with a less formidible approach than some of the author's more detailed books. Essentially, it covers the 'bare bones rapid reading approach' to his system. Several other authors have excerpted elements for their own books. (No, I have no suggestions as an endorsement. A search of the literature will reveal several)

This book is filled with a good number of memory improvement tricks and techniques that are presented in a conversational style and kept to roughly a single page in length. In addition to showing you various techniques, the author subtly weaves in ways that improve your observation skills, helps you form creative associations, and that causes you to remember. There are little exercises through out the book, but they are just that - samples. There's nothing boring or done by rote. As you're reading along, several pages later (which could days later), the author indirectly tests you, validating that if you even try the technique, you get high return with minimal effort. Simply practicing seems to improve your memory even more. Instead of spending money on all those mega-memory courses, this book will get you there in shorter time and in a much more entertaining manner.

Terrible! Too wordy and no help at all!!!

HL's book is straight to the point; you know how other writers use "fluff," and beat around the bush? HL get's right down to it, and he doesn't hold out on the goods either. This book will also force you to use your brain, that's a hidden bonus, that other writers want you to pay for, by including some link to a web site or other means... Worth every penny and more!

All of Harry's books have about the same system. It's one book ans system re-titled. I have watched Harry apply his system in person. On talk shows I workd he came in and had each member of the audience stand up and introduce him or herself. He then did the talk segment with the host. After which he introduced every single person in the audience. I have seen him do that several times. His system is the real deal.

Nice

Muy interesante. Está inglés. Lo recomiendo

Was very sceptical when buying this book and didn't think it would really do anything for me, but I was in desperate mode so I bought it. This book has been extremely helpful in jump starting my memory and I'm excited about the possibilities when I have applied more of the techniques into my everyday life situations. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks their memory is poor but who really wants to remember things properly - these techniques work.

I am very happy with the quick delivery of this book and the book itself is certainly an eyeopener am enjoying it very much.

Well worth it.
