What People are Saying About This

Henry Davis

I was sorry to miss the last class but we were on a cruise. There were ten people at our table, and I knew all their names by dinner the second night. And, what's more, I still remember them! One of my reasons for taking your course was that I just couldn't remember names.

Marcia Douglas

The class has helped me learn how my feelings affect my memory. This has been a hard year for me with my husband's death and worries about the kids. Here I've learned how I can slow down to focus on one thing at a time and take some control of the stresses in my life. The bonus is that my memory has really improved.

It is my sincere hope that you too will experience some of the same success as you apply the principles in this book.

Fielding provides practical tools and techniques for improving memory. I especially like the 'Memory Tool Chest.'

Mary Johnson

For twenty years I ve been raising a family, Mary Johnson remarked after one such class. Now I'm doing something just for me. I've always wanted to go to college, but lately I've been worried that my memory wouldn't be up to it. I almost let that worry keep me from going back to school. But I've learned here how to help myself remember better, and now I'm confident I'll do fine in college.
