This book contains a wealth of information about how to keep your memory sharp, whether you are a young adult or a senior citizen... With this book you can become proactive about your memory function and buff up your brain. -- Robin Wulffson Examiner.com

One of the most complete memory training guides available. The examples are age-appropriate and engaging... Techniques range from the ever-popular 'Tips and Tricks' to more effortful techniques such as story construction and categorization. This volume has clearly emerged from considerable practical experience with conducting memory courses. -- Contemporary Gerontology
