On average, each of us spends about 40 days a year trying to remember certain events, facts, or names. Just imagine how much higher your productivity would be if you could improve your memory the way Joshua Foer did. In just a year, he turned from a man who always forgets about his girlfriend's birthday, into the winner of the US memory Championship, and soon into the author of a world bestseller dedicated to memory. The book tells about the 12 months that the author spent trying to comprehend his memory — its internal mechanisms, natural defenses, and hidden potential — and train it. This is, in fact, a story about the place that memory occupies in the life of all mankind and each of us. How has memory function changed over the millennia? What is the role of memorization techniques in the past and present? Can anyone develop their memory to perfection? And is it necessary? You will learn how to train your memory and how memory techniques can be useful in everyday life.
