Everyone wants a better memory and in todays information-filled, multitasking age, having a good memory is more important than ever. Whether you need to keep track of your e-mail messages, impress the boss, give a speech, organize a busy social schedule, remember whom you met where and when, or anything else, a good memory is a necessary tool for staying on top of things. Its especially critical if youre part of the Baby Boomer generation or older, because memory loss can accompany aging. But if you keep your mind and memory limber, you can rev up your memory powerin fact, itll even get better with age!

30 Days to a More Powerful Memory is designed to help anyone improve his or her memory. Besides drawing on the latest findings from brain and consciousness researchers, psychologists, and others about what works and why, Ive included a variety of hands-on techniques and exercises, such as memory-building games and mental-imaging techniques.

While some chapters deal with basic ways of preparing your mind and body to remember more, such as improving your overall health and well-being, the main focus is on the techniques you can use day to day to improve your memory. Plus Ive included chapters on creating systems so you have memory triggers or you can reduce what you have to remember, so you can concentrate on remembering whats most important to you. For example, you might feel overwhelmed if you have 20 tasks to keep in mind for a meeting; but if you organize these by priority or groups of different types of tasks and write down these categories, you might have a more manageable organization of activities to remember.
