De-programming the "I forgot" or "I can't remember" attitude, July 10 2003

This review is from: Develop a Super Memory... Auto-matically (Audio Cassette)
Have you ever re-introduced yourself to a person, and asked for their name again like: "Hi, i'm sorry i forgot your name". This tape tries to makes it clear that it is not your memory that is the problem. It is (likely) a lack of focus, and attention. The "affirmations", although quirky, help you to remember the fact that you likely did not forget that persons name. You just weren't paying enough attention when they first told it to you.
The audio tape is started with an introduction as to the purpose of the tape: To get you started in basic memorization, and attention focusing techniques. The tape will take you over the basics of the PEG memorization technique (effective for remembering lists). This tape will help to remind you to focus more clearly next time you talk to someone. It will help you remember names and long lists of things. IF you participate.

For anyone that understands how the subconscious mind works they will understand that the "dopey" music is a method to bypass the critical factor, also call the analytical conscious mind.
If you purchase and listen to this tape alot as back ground music, your conscous mind will learn to ignore the suggestions that most unimportant, while keying in on the pertinent suggestions. You will get benefit - besides it's guaranteed!

Terrible., July 28 2005

Consists, more than anything, of these extended "affirmations" where you're supposed to repeat phrases like "I have a great memory"... that's MOST of the entire cd.
Otherwise, they do mention some tips for trying to remember names, and do actually discuss a technique to use in trying to remember a list of items.
But hey... what if you have a JOB that requires you to be on top of myriad facts and concepts, formulas, etc... that are not arranged in neat little lists. My father-in-law can read engineering manuals that are boring as can be, and he can retain the info. This tape/cd is USELESS for providing hints at how to tackle stuff like that. Sure, it's great for parlor tricks: memorize names of people in an audience and develop the ability to memorize a list of anything the audience wants you to memorize... but nothing more.
