✦ Synopsis

With phones ringing off the hook, constantly changing to-do lists,
and increasingly complicated schedules, having a good memory has
become more important than ever. Drawing on the latest research
from cognitive experts and psychologists, 30 Days to a More
Powerful Memory provides hands-on, practical strategies and
exercises that anyone, young or old, can use to sharpen their
memory -- fast! The book introduces readers to memory-boosting
techniques such as mnemonic devices, visualization, chunking and
clustering, and mental triggers, and also shows how to: *
effectively decrease anxiety levels and combat the negative
emotions that can affect recall * create powerful backup systems to
help trigger associations * exercise both body and mind, and
improve overall health to improve memory * get the kind of restful
sleep that will increase one's ability to retain information. The
book discusses common myths about memory, clarifying what's true
and what isn't. Packed with tips and memory-boosting activities,
this guide provides readers with the simple but powerful methods
they need to increase their mental agility. AUTHORBIO: Gini Graham
