![Memory Craft: Improve your memory using the most powerful methods from around the world by [Kelly Lynne]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417KtKozAyL._SY346_.jpg)
Lynne Kelly’s last book, The Memory Code, blew my mind completely. It is rare that such a book comes along which has the power to change your perspective about life on planet earth, as well as teach you a startling and ancient life skill.
Well. It’s happened again, and here it is and it happens to be Lynne Kelly’s new book, Memory Craft. Not only does a this book leave you inspired to learn better and remember better but it leaves you breathless about the intelligence and ability of indigenous cultures around the world.
You will not only learn a whole slew of new life skills but you will gain a greater appreciation for the minds of the First Nations and the way they organised, recorded and trained themselves as human encyclopaedias.
You will realise the great horror that was created when our forebears forced them fro their traditional lands.
You will come to understand the relationship between indigenous people and their “country.”
You will realise that the modern cultural phenomenon of the internet may have the exact opposite of the effect that we thought it would, and it could be making people less intelligent, empty-headed dufuses whilst we watch.
The devolution of the human intellect will be live streamed and tweeted.
This book is a ‘tour de force,’ a giant leap for human kind. I have read dozens of books about mnemonics but this one is written so well, is so broad in scope, is so rich in strategy and skill transfer that it can hardly be categorised.
The world will never be the same again if you read this book.
As you can tell I really liked it.
Product Description
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 memorise large amounts of information.
Memory Craft introduces the best memory techniques humans have ever devised, from ancient times and the Middle Ages, to methods used by today's memory athletes. Lynne Kelly has tested all these methods in experiments which demonstrate the extraordinary capacity of our brains at any age.
For anyone who needs to memorise a speech or a play script, learn anatomy or a foreign language, or prepare for an exam, Memory Craft is a fabulous toolkit. It offers proven techniques for teachers to help their students learn more effectively. There are also simple strategies for anyone who has trouble remembering names or dates, and for older people who want to keep their minds agile. Above all, memorising things can be playful, creative and great fun.
'Weaving the deep history of memory techniques along with the techniques themselves, Memory Craft is a memory book like no other I've ever read.' - Nelson Dellis, four times USA Memory Champion
'With her infectious enthusiasm and depth of personal experience, Dr Lynne Kelly teaches us how we too can memorise anything... [and] potentially protect our memories from decline as we age.' - Dr Meredith McKague, University of Melbourne
