Remember It!:: The Names of People You Meet, All of Your Passwords, Where You Left Your Keys, and Everything Else You Tend to Fo

Description

Throughout his research into memory theory, Nelson Dellis found existing memory improvement guides to be wanting-overcomplicated, dry, and stodgy. So he decided to write a book that is approachable and fun, centered on what people actually need to remember. In Remember It!, Dellis teaches us how to make the most of our memory, using his competition-winning techniques. Presenting the information in a user-friendly way, Dellis offers bite-size chapters, addressing things we wish we could remember but often forget: names, grocery lists, phone numbers, where you left your keys-you name it! This fast-paced, highly illustrated tour of the inner workings of the brain makes improving your memory simple and fun.

Nelson Dellis holds a number of memory records, is a four-time USA Memory Champion, and a Grandmaster of Memory. He is a highly sought after memory expert and public speaker and has made appearances on the Today show, ABC's Nightline, The Dr. Oz Show, Katie, the Oprah Winfrey Network, and more. He lives in Miami.
