Summary: Positive techniques but some negative vibes
Comment: Description: I like the way this book progresses. The first section deals with concepts and research results about memory. This is good and informative. It reads a bit like a lay-man's version of a scientific report. It is matter-of-fact. The following three chapters provide really useful memory techniques that are easy to apply. Good Points: Numerous applications of the techniques are included. I think that the author made a really good job of that, and he never claims that what you learn will give you any more than it does. Students and those preparing for exams might find particular interest in the section on understanding what exam questions are actually asking you to do and how to answer them. Bad Points: Whether the author realises it there is some potentially dangerous negative suggestion I noticed in the book. For example, in the chapter entitled "Why we forget", the author cites an example of someone who was an authority on fish. He writes "It is said, however, that every time he learned the name of a person he forgot the name of a fish". What utter rubbish. The author should know better than to give people the impression that learning will take something away, which is what, in my opinion, this does. Dudley should also be aware that other researchers claim that the mind is almost limitless. I have found other examples in the book of the author "playing it safe" and not really suggesting that great memory feats are possible. Read other books. Some people claim they are. Conclusion: Even though I find some of what the author writes negative and condtadictory (He says in another chapter it is "Out of the question to improve the brain's sheer power of retention"), the techniques he presents and the way he explains them is very useful. My advice would be to buy the book if it appeals to you and learn the techniques - they will benefit you, but make a concious effort to believe in your own potential for memory expansion while doing so. Belief in improving things such as IQ and memory is a very sticky area. You need all the positive input you can get.
