Summary

Groundbreaking anthropologist and memory champion Lynne Kelly reveals how we can use ancient and traditional mnemonic methods to enhance and expand our memory.

Our brain is a muscle. Like our bodies, it needs exercise. In the last few hundred years, we have stopped training our memories and we have lost the ability to memorize large amounts of information - something our ancestors could do with ease.

After discovering that the true purpose of monuments like Easter Island and Stonehenge were to act as memory palaces, Kelly takes this knowledge and introduces us to the best memory techniques humans have ever devised, from ancient times and the Middle Ages to methods used by today’s memory athletes. A memory champion herself, Kelly tests all these methods and demonstrate the extraordinary capacity of our brains at any age.

For anyone who needs to memorize a speech or a script, learn anatomy or a foreign language, or prepare for an exam, Memory Craft offers proven techniques and simple strategies for anyone who has trouble remembering names or dates, or for older people who want to keep their minds agile. In addition to getting in touch with our own human and anthropological foundations, Memory Craft shows how all things mnemonic can be playful, creative, and fun.

The most comprehensive of the memory books

this book was really exceptional. I have bought a number of books on improving memory, and this is the most wide-ranging and interesting of the bunch. This is a lady near 70 who built her memory extraordinarily, and relates multiple ways of engaging one's memory. Highly recommended.

So grateful this is on Audible!

I read the Kindle version last year and noticed an improvement in my memory already! Something told me to check if it’s on Audible and I was so thrilled it was! The reading is fantastic and holds my attention so I can learn the skills even better. Thank you Dr Kelly!!!!
