Anders Ericsson (mentioned in my book) is one of a number of researchers who have shown that it's quite possible for ordinary people to learn how to develop extraordinary memories--given the proper techniques and strong enough motivation (consequences!). I assume that the author of Moonwalking succeeded in improving his memory? Indeed, I just peeked online and see that he was wildly successful, wow. Thanks for mentioning this.Susan M.

It's an interesting read -- the author is a journalist who spent a year studying for the world memory competition to see if an "average person" could teach himself to compete on the world level. <br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />MaryMary @ StaleCheerioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153831521688963020noreply@blogger.com
