The Memory Doctor

By: Douglas Mason, Spencer Smith

Narrated by: Erik Singer

Are You Becoming Forgetful? The Doctor is In!

Do you have trouble finding your keys in the morning or forget what you were looking for altogether? When you meet new people, do you often forget their names—as soon as they leave the room? Don't panic! Just because you can't remember why you picked up this audiobook doesn't mean you're losing your mind—or even your memory. It's more likely that stress and information overload are making it harder for you to get information into your head in the first place. No matter what age we are, the way we remember things is a process: understand and pay more attention to the steps of the process, and your memory will improve.

Make an appointment with The Memory Doctor and learn fun, simple ways to sharpen your memory:

• Get inside your head and see how your memory really works
• Target specific areas of memory that you can improve
• Experiment with fun, simple techniques to accomplish your memory-enhancing goals
• Find out which supplements can help improve memory—and which do nothing at all
• Learn about exciting new developments in memory research

try to forget it.

this is simply a terrible book. here it is in a nutshell. pay attention when your trying to remember something, and carry a notebook to write things down, thats it. no science of how anything works, no research. i could write this book by simply reading articles off the internet. i wish i could forget this worthless dribble.

no useful advice. contradicts itself

This book is for the most part a commercial for barely effective, extremely dangerous prescription drugs. And, based on the description of these drugs, if you were in any kind of condition that you needed any of them, you wouldn't be able to listen to or read this book.

The authors also bad mouth memory systems that teach you to memorize entire phone books as mere parlor tricks; but, then mention in passing that method of loci and encoding are valid and useful memory techniques.

I would give this book a negative rating if that were possible.
