Publisher's Synopsis
Is memory slipping, and that slippage has become worrisome? Do you think that there's nothing you can do about "senioritis", with advancing age? Here's what you don't know: while the body ages, weakens and tires, the brain does not! Anyone, at any age (barring disease, dementia, brain tumor) can have a great brain and strong memory, yes - YOU! But it does take some effort - regular practice and developing new habits - to effect new memories. Memory is a storage unit, hooked by neurons along sensory channels - and we all have billions of unused neurons at every age. We can never use up the storage capacity of our brain, which can store practically unlimited memories. The rub is: accessing all those stored, but lost memories... where is the neural pathway? Memories are put into storage by sensory encoding that, when faulty (i.e. no conscious process used to encode) are then hard to retrieve, without re-creating the exact same sensory elements that were in place when the memory first occurred. And that's often impossible to re-create physically. But in the mind, a memory can live and be re-lived forever. So how do you start now to improve your future memories and strengthen current recall? This book describes many easy techniques to use to create a process to encode vivid memories and enhance desired recall. The book concludes with the SmartyPants Secret on memory. Start now and improve your memory for future strength. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, the path to a good memory can be yours starting today, building strength throughout the rest of your life.
