Product Description
Are You Becoming Forgetful? The Doctor Is In!

Do you have trouble finding your keys in the morning? When you meet new people, do you often forget their names-as soon as they leave the room? Don't panic!

It's more likely that stress and information overload are making it harder for you to get information into your head in the first place. No matter what age we are, the way we remember things is a process: understand and pay more attention to the steps of the process, and your memory will improve.

2 out of 5 starsSome good points, 2008-05-16
This book has some good points and some helpful techniques, but they could have been summed up in an article rather than a book. I would say do not waste your time but the book is a one day read and may be helpful. The used prices are not bad either. I was looking for something with more content and would have definitely bought a different book.

2 out of 5 starsWhere's the Beef?, 2008-03-09
This little book has little substance to improve memory. I found the book to be quite general and subjective and more directed to how the brain handles memory. There was little in the way of process or procedure that I found helpful in improving memory. Very disappointing book.

1 out of 5 starsDon't waste your money and time, 2007-08-02
I really have to wonder about the people that are recommending this book. At 143 pages, the author wasted 3/4s of the book on "interesting" facts and the rest of it on what the title claims to provide, "techniques to improve memory..."
Very dissapointing. You are better off buying some good books on relaxation and breathing techniques and some word-puzzles.

5 out of 5 starsEntertainingly Informative, 2007-06-27
The author is knowledgeable and entertaining! He is a totally likable guy with a lot of well supported statistics on how our brains work. He guides simply and gives common sense commentary on our concern for memory maintenance.

Good book for everyone interested in keeping their brain in order!

2 out of 5 starsNot enough depth, 2007-06-17
There are some interesting facts in this book, but overall I found it to be somewhat superficial. It covers a little on how memory works, a little on techniques for remembering facts (relax, pay attention, and make a list), and quite a bit on herbs and medicines. I imagine it would probably be most useful for a student needing help with study techniques, but it wasn't very helpful to me -- looking for some techniques to fight absent-mindedness.
