Lorayne is very strong when it comes to keeping things simple. Let’s take a deeper look at what Lorayne has to offer when it comes to these two realms. Lorayne also gets into how you can experience better performance during leisure activities. These parts of the book range from what memory techniques are to specific ways that you can use them to achieve a range of learning goals.īut it’s not just about learning. In the rest of the book, Lorayne dives into teaching you how to make your brain remember just about anything. The historical data alone is worth the price of admission so that you can look up some of these historical figures on your own. By including some memory science, Lorayne increases the accuracy of what he’s teaching.Īnd finally Lorayne gives us a deep dive into some of the key figures who were so essential to him being able to improve his life by improving his memory.
These parts of the book are quite refreshing because in other works Lorayne tends to refer to these topics in passing. Next, you get crisp chapters on memory science and the history of memory techniques. He spends a small amount of time at the beginning addressing myths we have about aging and memory. And now that he’s in his 90s, he’s still inspiring us by sharing his life and his many accomplishments.Īgeless Memory Review: What You Need to KnowĪgeless Memory is for readers of all ages, but Lorayne is clearly addressing this book to those who may be suffering what he calls “senior moments.” Many of his other books include variations on the core teachings he shared in this initial publication.īut we’re so glad that he continued putting out memory training. His first memory book was How To Develop a Super Power Memory, published in 1957.
We’re all glad that we did because his books have made a huge impact on learners around the world. Then, he decided to share the knowledge with others by writing about mnemonic techniques for a mass audience. Over the years, Lorayne practiced these techniques and developed his intelligence. So Lorayne went to the library and discovered memory techniques in what he told me were some “dusty old books.” One of them was the Rhetorica ad Herennium. One day, Lorayne paused and wondered why other students were doing better on their tests.Īnd it dawned on him that a big part of the problem was his memory. His father died when he was twelve, but the failing grades persisted. He was afraid of getting hit and the pain it caused him. Worse, his father used to punch him for getting poor grades.Īs Harry Lorayne told me in an interview, he was never scared about failing school. Harry Loryane is a legendary memory teacher and world class magician.īorn in 1926, Lorayne had a hard childhood. I think it’s Lorayne’s best memory improvement book and in this Ageless Memory Review, I’ll tell you why. To say that I’m a fan of Ageless Memory would be an understatement. Personally, I’m both inspired and astonished.Īnd I can’t wait to be this on-the-ball myself when I reach his age. They streamed his 96th birthday on YouTube and you can decide for yourself just how his memory and mental cognition have held up.
He’s in his nineties as I’m preparing this review and still sharp as a whistle.Īnd you don’t have to take my word for it. One of the coolest things about Ageless Memory is that Harry Lorayne proves the concept.
