Worth the Listen, But Buy the Book Too

Overall I gave it a 3 because you don't get his entire course in 48 minutes. His performance is exciting and so is the story line. Clearly if one wants to improve his/her memory you must practice the techniques. You get a few in this audio, but for a full understanding of his techniques you really need his book where he covers all of them in detail. I found this audio to be a good companion to his book. Worth the buy for me anyway.

It is not all of Harry Lorayne memory system

This audiobook is only a summary of chapter 10 of The Memory Book written by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas (1974). It does not cover all of systems mentioned on the book.

Workable

Any additional comments?

The techniques mentioned to improve one's memory is rather interesting. Maybe children would have more fun learning how to improve their memory.

Forgot the name of the book

Not at all what I expected...may work for some but I wish I could get my money back. You waste more time trying to remember the system...I could have remembered everything else wihtout confusing it with some phonic numbering system.
