Read this book ~10yrs ago. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

Easy read, interesting story, teaches you a bunch of practical memory tips, and has some interesting discourse about the role memory plays in consciousness and the human experience.
The worst thing about selling something like this is your target audience. They keep forgetting to order it.
This one is available to borrow from Libby with my local library. Cost = Free!

I used to be a competitive memory athlete. The memory palace definitely works, but it takes a lot of intentional practices. I would say you need at least several hundred hours of dedicated training to be proficient at it at an amateur level (think of learning to play basketball and you will get the idea). Do not expect to be able to do it well right away just by reading this book.

This book is a good read for beginners, but keep in mind that the methods used in the book are largely outdated by today's standards. You will have to read something more updated afterwards if you are seriously about learning it.

Reading reviews, good or bad, revealed that this is a book version of a docudrama. my new favorite genre to watch: latest being Super-Pumped: Uber.

Bought this based on that fact alone; would have passed if it was just a self-teaching textbook.

Ha. I bought this deal and enjoyed it, so returned here to upvote it. I'm about 40% done according to Kindle. Nicely written, a bit lacking cohesive story line but it oddly works.

The lack of an appendix at the end with resources sucks. Overall, probably 4/5 stars for me.
