Synopsis

Clear, concise, prescriptive steps for improving memory loss and keeping the brain young—from one of the world's top memory experts.

Everybody forgets things sometimes—from your keys to your lunch date to the name of an acquaintance. According to Dr. Gary Small, the director of the UCLA Center on Aging, much of this forgetfulness can be eliminated easily through his innovative memory exercises and brain fitness program—now available for the first time in a book. Using Small's recent scientific discoveries, The Memory Bible can immediately improve your mental performance. One of the ten commandments that Dr. Small has pioneered to improve your memory immediately is LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT:

1: LOOK: actively observe what you want to learn
2: SNAP: create a vivid snapshot and memorable image
3: CONNECT: visualize a link to associate images

In addition, Dr. Small's comprehensive program includes a "brain diet" of memory-enhancing foods and a list of the most effective drugs, as well as a workbook with a weekly and daily calendar. Remember, as Dr. Small says, "Great memories are not born, they are made."

I've learned about diet that's......more

Have you ever lost your keys? Have you ever parked in a parking lot and exited the building only to realize that you forgot where you parked? Do you have problems recalling names and faces? If any of this describes you, and chances are that it does, this book could be for you. While I do say that, t......more

Goodreads review by Dylan on November 02, 2021

I am very rarely super critical of a book as I enjoy reading and find something from almost everything, but I have to just be honest that this was the first time I was straight up disappointed in a book. The title is so misleading, first of all, after the first 2 chapters it’s not about memory techn......more

Goodreads review by Cami on August 12, 2018

I picked this up while searching for actual books to help in memorizing sections of the Bible, and I read it because I have noticed that I don't retain information as well as I used to and can no longer remember people's names after hearing them once like I used to. The book seems to be aimed at an......more
