A lively illustrated guide “filled with clever tips and tricks for remembering like a memory champion” (Joshua Foer, New York Times–bestselling author of Moonwalking with Einstein). Throughout his research into memory theory, four-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis found existing memory improvement guides to be wanting—overcomplicated, dry, and stodgy. So he decided to write a book that is approachable and fun, centered on what people actually need to remember. In Remember It!, Dellis teaches us how to make the most of our memory, using his competition-winning techniques. Presenting the information in a user-friendly way, Dellis offers bite-size chapters, addressing things we wish we could remember but often forget: names, grocery lists, phone numbers, where you left your keys—you name it! This fast-paced, highly illustrated tour of the inner workings of the brain makes improving your memory simple and fun.

Characterized by his personal style of elegance, clarity, and brevity, Rudin presents in the first part of the book his early memories about his family history, his boyhood in Vienna throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and his experiences during World War II. Part II offers samples of his work, in which he relates where problems came from, what their solutions led to, and who else was involved.

I will always be in debt to the many good people I was lucky to meet and walk the roads of life with. This book is about them. About the times we lived together. About the many ways life united us and pushed us around. About the dead and the living who deserve more than gratitude. It is also about all the wonderful places which revealed their beauty, riches, character, and were my home, where i learned to look at the trees as living and breathing systems, to follow the birds in their flight, and to listen to the winds of times.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We’ve all grown accustomed to the frustration of memory lapses, and the little things we do to get by in spite of them. We often forget what we want to remember, and we never forget what changes our lives. #2 I had always been interested in numbers, and I thought that being able to calculate in my head would make me a little sharper in my field. I found the Extreme Mental Calculation World Cup, where the best head-mathletes flex their brains by incorporating memorization techniques in their calculations. #3 The best way to remember anything is to turn it into a mental image. When I first learned this, I was so fascinated that I didn’t care about how to apply the techniques in my everyday life. #4 The best part of success is the opportunity it affords me to talk about memory to new people all the time. I’m proud of my accomplishments, but the best part of success is the opportunity it affords me to show people how easy, fun, and life-changing it is to learn these techniques and put them to use.

Leonard Szczesny was born in 1931 on the Polish-Russian border to a Polish family. Because in 1933 his father Josef was banished for five years of hard labor to Siberia and was not allowed to ever return to within two hundred kilometers of his village, Leonard’s travels started at an early age. In 1937, with his mother Antonina and his older brother Jan, he traveled east to rejoin his father at a new place of employment. World War II broke out in 1939, and by 1943 it became clear that the Russian Army was getting the upper hand. Josef, being an “unreliable element” because of his banishment, decided that his family would have a better chance of living a peaceful life in Poland. On the way, the family had the misfortune of falling into a German roundup providing free labor for the German war industry. The rest is history: forced labor camp, several displaced persons camps, work for American and British occupational forces, and finally emigration to the United States. At that moment fortune returned: job, school, marriage, home, children...and the chance to reflect on the past and a happy ending!

In writing my book I tried, to the best of my memory (and with the help of a lot of people), to relate and have a true story about the things that we did as children and adults about growing up and living in a small town in Alabama. Even though times were hard then, I feel very fortunate to have grown up during that time and in that place. I believe that my life has been guided and protected by a Higher Being and I thank God for looking after me and guiding my life. I also had some great teachers which I am thankful for knowing. Most of our teachers loved us and tried to help, when they could, to prepare for our future. All this gave me confidence to go into adult life and knew that I had my future in my hand and could make my life and that I alone am responsible for my actions. I believe that growing up in Roanoke gave me the knowledge and background to have a great life, for which I am thankful, and I hope for many more good years.
