Invaluable!!! Although this book is 7 years old, there are some VERY useful information within this book to give you a very good base to start from on optimizing your memory. From there you could update your knowledge by going to the National Institute of Health website, various reputable medical journals, the American Academy of Neurology, and various other journals, websites, and institutions.

This book, ghost written by Susan Gilbert is a technical overview of memory mechanics. The specific descriptions of types of memory helped me understand how they work. I appreciated the scientific references to the processes and tips to activate when my memory fails with aging. Having met the Nelson at a Learning and the Brain conference, I appreciated his presentation and perspectives on brain health.

as i pick up the book in sake to improve my daily memory use .. but as i got started and i just found that it is almost talk about something else which more worth advance subjects form me, book give at detailed way all about memory and it is disorders , and memory problems ,, treatments drugs , and daily habits that effect directly on memory .. good book :) :)

The guide, examination and suggested contravention for memory loss substantially caters to memory loss caused by aging, but that is not to say that it can't be applied as a remedy to memory loss triggered by differing stimuli.

Very informative, yet easy to understand. Hope I can remember all the helpful hints they provided to optimize my memory! :)

Far less accessible than Richard Restak's Think Smart. Very conventional read.
