Read the book. If you just buy it like most SD and not use it, that's not gonna help.

A good read. Here's the guy from Ted Lasso demonstrating the type of memory feat this book talks about.

Is it really important to clutter your brain by remembering everything ? Isn't it better to distill knowledge from what you learn and takeaway the highlights ? If you remember Fax, how exactly does it help you to develop and make better decisions and judgments?

This is my literal favorite book ever. For anyone interested in how memory works, I highly, highly recommend it. It's split half between describing the memory and the brain, and half between describing the author's (absolutely amazing) experience competing in the U.S. Memory Championship.

I remembered the entire grocery list from the book a solid 5 years after. Even today I often picture Claudia Schiffer splashing around in a pool of cottage cheese.
