What if genius isn't something you're born with—it's something you build? Everyday Genius, by six-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis, upgrades your everyday life through practical skills, whether it's memorizing names at a new job, doing lightning-fast mental math when it counts, honing decisive intuition, and beyond.

Written by Remember It! author Nelson Dellis with a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Barbara Oakley, Everyday Genius teaches you the skills that make genius-level thinking accessible to anyone. Better memory. Sharper focus. Faster learning. Creative problem-solving. No natural talent required, just the right methods. In 2009, after watching his grandmother struggle with Alzheimer's, Nelson Dellis set out to strengthen his own mind. That mission led to six USA Memory Championships, two Guinness World Records, and a career dedicated to proving that anyone can develop genius-level cognitive abilities. Everyday Genius teaches you to memorize names and faces instantly, speed-read with deep comprehension, calculate mentally with surprising accuracy, and focus intensely when it matters most. You'll learn strategies for chess and strategic games, techniques for acing exams and public speaking, and methods for creative problem-solving that help you see connections others miss. This audiobook gives you the mental toolkit for a sharper, more engaged life. At a time when outsourcing our thinking has never been easier, Everyday Genius shows you how to reclaim and strengthen your most valuable asset: your brain. You have far more potential than you realize—an inner genius waiting to be awakened. This guide unlocks it.

Giving away game for free!...or at least the price of the book.

If you've followed Nelson's memory stuff, nothing new here. It's good and he gives very simple methods for improving tour mental skills. Simple doesn't always mean easy. You have to do the work.

I think what's so subtly given in this book is a way to elevate your life. The section on applying the techniques to improve communication and relationship building and raise your consciousness is so neatly packaged and delivered that you might not realize the pearl you received.

A concept he reiterates is genius (and being awesome in many ways) is a trainable skill that ANYONE can learn and apply in their world

Again, those who have seen him on the socials or read his newsletter may already get that he genuinely wants to help others. This book is consistent with that vibe, for the price of this book, I felt like I got so much more out the deal.

I don't remember what I forgot!

I'm 62 and my memory palace is under construction, and some of the rooms are upside down, or have no floor so I have to watch my step, and some of the doors are actually elevator doors.
