What the book is about

We live surrounded by screens that remember for us. But understanding, connecting ideas and creating something new all require material inside your head. Learning to build memories on purpose is learning to think better.

The Power of the Memory Palace shows you how to build your first palace and then a whole network of them, why memory starts with attention, and how to apply the method to languages, names and faces, passwords, numbers, textbooks, poetry and quotations.
