A really interactive memory course
|
|
I really like this memory course because it's actually the author Dominic O'Brien who enthusiastically explains his memory techniques. A warning, this is not a passive course you have to practice the techniques and it's not just theory, there are lots of exercises. I would recommend this course if you feel you need a lot of help with memory techniques. However if you're on a budget or just as a superb compliment to this course get the book How to Develop a Brilliant Memory Week by Week: 52 Proven Ways to Enhance Your Memory Skills. This book is an absolute steal at £4.49 and brilliantly explains Dominic's memory techniques, you won't need another memory book. It's also beautifully designed, can't believe how cheap it is!

I have not seen this

Firstly, I will make clear I have not seen this product, hence some may find the review unreliable- fair enough do not use it.
However, the synopsis and O'Brien's usual plan, appears to be the same in this- repetition. Rather than shelling out all this money for this programme, I can almost guarentee the most essential if not all of the programme will be in his cheap books, which are also all repeats themselves. I would personally recommend the '52' steps, which is an exception to this rule.

Dominic Obrien has literally changed the way I think, and I love it!
Throughout my life I have always been interested academia. I gained a 2.1 degree in Sports Science and am now doing a degree in Biomedical Science. Now, although i did well at the time, I always noticed that afterwards, Id forgotten the information. Up untill now, I have never really encoded the information efficiently and so unsurprisingly, i did not retain the information. And this was not helped by the fact that I have Attention Deficit Disorder. So really, I have never learnt how to learn.
I started using MIND MAPS by TONY BUZAN which has literally quadruppled the information that I am retaining.
Now DOMINIC has helped my to EVOLVE on to another level. He shows that all effective memory encoding requires the use of three techniques: Association, Location and Imagination. And if you take the fist letter of the three words, you get ALI, as in Mohammed Ali.
When you finish the Course, you will realise the potential of your memory. You can remember Books, newspapers, Numbers that are 100 digits long, you can remember the names of anyone. He will teach you how to remember all the Americal states and their capitals. Oh and the DOMINIC SYSTEM is pure genius! Also when you do finish it, you regret not having bought one of his CDs years ago.
You also wonder why the hell dont schools teach children who to learn using these methods. This is an argument that dominic makes. He says that "Teachers need to be taught how to teach children to learn how to learn". The techniques require alot of preparation and practice but I promise you, once you have mastered them, you may just start realising the potential of you brain.
