Kevin Horsley - Unlimited Memory: How to Use Advanced Learning Strategies to Learn Faster, Remember More and be More Productive

The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.

~ Brian Tracy

What would your life be like if you could learn and remember information easily, quickly, and effectively? Think about it.

In this short, easy-to-read book I will provide you with a set of powerful memory-enhancing mindsets and skills, which will allow you to take control of your learning and your life. You will discover many amazing methods, both ancient and new, that have been modeled from the worlds best minds in the areas of accelerated learning and memory development. This book will give you information that school forgot to teach you. The approach is all about running your own brain; I believe that this can only be possible with the foundation of memory.

Imagine if you were born without a memory. Who would you be? You would be nothing; if you dont have a memory, you dont have anything else. If I ask you, Who are you? you would immediately start rearranging memories in your mind to answer that question. Your memory is the glue that binds your life together; everything you are today is because of your amazing memory. You are a data collecting being, and your memory is where your life is lived. If you didnt have a memory, you wouldnt be able to learn, think, have intelligence, create, or even know how to tie your shoes. You wouldnt be able to build experience in any field because experience is just a collection of memories after all! Only if you can remember information can you live it.

Over the years, memory has been given a bad name. It has been associated with rote learning and cramming information into your brain. Educators have said that understanding is the key to learning but how can you understand something if you cant remember it? We have all had this experience: we recognize and understand information but cant recall it when we need it. For example, how many jokes do you know? Youve probably heard thousands, but you can only recall about four or five right now. There is a big difference between remembering your four jokes and recognizing or understanding thousands. Understanding doesnt create use: only when you can instantly recall what you understand, and practise using your remembered understanding, do you achieve mastery. Memory means storing what you have learned; otherwise, why would we bother learning in the first place?

Some people say you dont need a good memory in the Google age. Ken Jennings said, When you make a decision, you need facts. If those facts are in your brain, theyre at your fingertips. If theyre all in Google somewhere, you may not make the right decision on the spur of the moment.

Which raises the question: would or have you hired a person for his or her ability to Google information? No, you want people with information and experience at their fingertips. You want confident people, people that are certain about what they know. Not storing information in your mind is expensive and can lead to embarrassment and poor judgment. If you have to continually refer to notes or manuals to do your work, you will waste time and look unprofessional. Would you rather buy a product from someone that forgets your name or from someone that remembers it? Would you allow a doctor to operate on you if she had to continually refer to a manual or an iPad? Definitely not!

Memory is the corner stone of our existence. It determines the quality of our decisions and, therefore, our entire life!

Learning and memory are the two most magical properties of the human mind. Learning is the ability to acquire new information, and memory holds the new information in place over time. Memory is the foundation to all learning. If memory is not set in place, all you are doing is throwing information into a deep hole never to be used again. The problem is that many people are not recalling what they know, and they are constantly learning and forgetting, and learning and forgetting, and learning and forgetting

When you improve your memory, you improve everything. You can access information more quickly and more easily creating greater opportunities for connections and associations. The more facts and memories that you have properly stored in your brain, the more potential you have to make unique combinations and connections. An increased memory also enhances basic intelligence because intelligence is based on all of the events, people, and facts that you can recall. The more you remember, the more you can create and do because factual knowledge always precedes skill. Information can only be built onto more information, so the more you know the easier it is to get to know more.
