A hard Listen

Although there are a few probably useful tricks to helping you remember things in this book, I was unable to struggly thru the last 2 of the 8 CD's. Once I got past the narrator's stilted method of speaking, I thought things would pick-up, but was disappointed.

To be fair, I listened to this in the car, and much of the book requires you to practice different grouping and recall techniques involving writing long series of numbers, words, or alpha-numerics.

Listening to those lists being dictated for the exercises does not make for a dynamic experience. Some good suggestions such as always storing items that are hard to find in standard locations are presented to free the reader's mind from distractions.

OK

Very sketchy audio book on memory techniques
