Started New Book!

One of the e-books I downloaded is "How to Develop a Perfect Memory" - Dominic O'Brien. I started reading the book today and already I can tell it entirely focuses on developing and improving mnemonic techniques, unlike "A Walk to Remember."

In his book he begins by claiming that developing mnemonic skills can increase confidence, observation, creativity and imagination and decrease stress.

The three "Golden Keys" of memory techniques are: association, location and imagination. He emphasizes that when you think of an object you do not think about the dictionary definition, you think of its associations. For instance, key --> doors, Tiger Woods --> Golf. By making associations from words with your imagination and putting these images in locations, you can improve your memory greatly!
