Everyone wants a better memory-and in today's information-filled, multitasking age, having a good memory is more important than ever. Whether you need to keep track of your e-mail messages, impress the boss, give a speech, organize a busy social schedule, remember whom you met where and when, or anything else, a good memory is a necessary tool for staying on top of things. It's especially critical if you're part of the Baby Boomer generation or older, because memory loss can accompany aging. But if you keep your mind and memory limber, you can rev up your memory power-in fact, it'll even get better with age!
30 Days to a More Powerful Memory is designed to help anyone improve his or her memory. Besides drawing on the latest findings from brain and consciousness researchers, psychologists, and others about what works and why, I've included a variety of hands-on techniques and exercises, such as memory-building games and mental-imaging techniques.
With phones ringing off the hook, constantly changing to-do lists, and increasingly complicated schedules, having a good memory has become more important than ever. Drawing on the latest research from cognitive experts and psychologists, 30 Days to a More Powerful Memory provides hands-on, practical strategies and exercises that anyone, young or old, can use to sharpen their memory -- fast! The book introduces readers to memory-boosting techniques such as mnemonic devices, visualization, chunking and clustering, and mental triggers, and also shows how to:
* effectively decrease anxiety levels and combat the negative emotions that can affect recall
* create powerful backup systems to help trigger associations
* exercise both body and mind, and improve overall health to improve memory
* get the kind of restful sleep that will increase one's ability to retain information.
The book discusses common myths about memory, clarifying what's true and what isn't. Packed with tips and memory-boosting activities, this guide provides readers with the simple but powerful methods they need to increase their mental agility.
