BR 2-14: Memory Man (Waring Rob, 2008)


"He has memorized more than 250 books!" (p. 7).

I have some experiences about studying, I struggled to memorize words in particular. I heard that there are some way to memorize words. Other people see these words and memorize them, on the other hand the other people write these words again and again. Actually, there are huge difference of way to memorize. In addition, we often memorize many kind of things. For example, number is most easy to memorize, however this is a most used in our life. I have watched an old man who can memorize the circular constant so long. Each time I heard some rumors about him, I always come up questions. Why can he memorize it so accurate? If we mimicked his memorize way, we could memorize as him and are there some possible to become more smart?

This book introduce about secret of memorize. However unfortunately there are no specific grounds which proof that secret. According to this book, memorizing is one of the difficult problem of today's science. This book pick up the story of Golfera who is good at memorizing. He has extraordinary potential of memorize and he memorize contents of books which he had read before completely. Many scientists studying about his ability, however there are any good news. Memorizing is a big serious problem for most people, but if the scientists discovered how to memorize more smart, we wouldn't have to struggle about it.
