Remember It!

Remember It!:  The Names of People You Meet, All of Your Passwords, Where You Left Your Keys, and  Everything Else You Tend To Forget by Nelson Dellis             Audio Book: 6 hours, 48 minutes
Paperback book:  240 pages     


Nelson Dellis does have an amusing way of memorizing things.   It is based heavily on math  but also on the most extreme of absurd images that can be so gross and literally shocking like OMgosh! shocking that the bizzarre sometimes horrendous images will virtually stick in your memory.  We are talking slasher film stuff here ladies and gentlemen.  Now while I get it that those images will certainly remain in your brain, the sheer OMgosh! quality is a little bracing.    It works great for Nelson but, I would have to tone mine waaaaaaay down to what his are. YIKES!    It is a fun read.  The guy is after all a major world contender for memory competition and has memorized up to like every person's name at every party and event he goes to which is wild.    He does present his tactics for never forgetting another thing in fun ways just sometimes his imagery sort of hits you right between the eyes.   The guy is good and I highly recommend readers do give this one your full attention you will be glad you did - just prepare yourself for some shocking means of associating names, place, locations, lists, to dos, ad infinitum but, maybe that is the brillance of left brain thinking.    The man is a genius and aren't all geniuses ever so remotely "eccentric?"   Good book, your brain will feel like it has been scrubbed and cleaned and you will never forget a thing you commit to memory with these techniques.  I do recommend this book to anyone seriously looking to improve their memory.
