About this title

Synopsis

Memory is the means whereby we perform the largest share of our mental work. As Emerson has said: “Memory is a primary and fundamental faculty, without which none other can work: the cement, the bitumen, the matrix in which the other faculties are embedded. Without it all life and thought were an unrelated succession.” Memory: The Classic Guide To Developing, Training and Using It offers a simple memory system which will allow you to become greatly more effective, more imaginative and successful at work, in school, in sports, musical and theatrical performance and in play. You will be amazed at how easy it will be to remember phone numbers in your mind; how to file numbers, data, figures and appointments; learn a foreign language; and how to read with incredible speed and recall. With these tools students will shine in the classroom with shorter study times and dominate in social situations.

About the Author

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. (He obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—-but these are mostly subscription based, and reflect more on his desire to be known than his contemporary fame.) His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. (Wikipedia)
