Ratings and reviews

This book explains how the memory works and provides techniques the reader can use to improve their memorization skills. It's easy to read and should be understandable for beginners in the topic. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Opens up just a little too technical for my taste.
