One theme is constant throughout the book: association. You relate what you are trying to remember to something in the real world or between objects if you are trying to memorize a list. Helpful, yes, but I felt as though some chapters could have been much shorter or thrown out altogether with this concept running throughout the first 90 pages.
I wish I'd had this book in medical school! July 23, 2008

This book saved my career!
I was working 100 hours a week as an OB-GYN and needed to take my oral boards. I knew they would never ask the easy stuff- how to do a vaginal delivery. No, they were going to ask the crazy stuff. They did too, what anti-malarial drugs are safe in pregnancy, for example.
I had neither the time nor the energy to go over and memorize the hundreds of pages of notes I had gotten from my board review course.
After reading "The Memory Book", I was able to process and retain enough information to easily pass my exam. The techniques I learned have been very useful since. I can go to a party with twenty strangers and say goodbye to everyone by name. I'm now teaching anatomy and physiology, and I can remember lists of things so my lectures flow much better.
I suggest this book to all my students, as well as "Super Memory, Super Student" by the same author. My college is thinking of making the book a requirement!
Buy this book!! You will not regret it.
