BOOK REVIEW: MEMORY CRAFT by Lynne Kelly

In her bestselling book The Memory Code, Lynne Kelly uncovers the memory methods of the ancients.

She has now tested them thoroughly and in Memory Craft she shows how anyone of any age can use traditional memory methods to expand their memory capacity and to memorise whatever they want.

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.
