If only The Victorious Mind had been written ten years ago... It would have saved me a lot of frustration and self-blame in failing to keep up my regular meditation practice. Now I not only know why I struggled so much, but what to do instead.

In The Victorious Mind , Anthony Metivier brings his terrifying experience of mental illness together with his depth of knowledge of memory systems to show how using mnemonics systematically can ease a troubled mind and replace terror with joy. This is a unique book from an author who speaks from a lifetime of experience beyond anything I could have imagined.

The Memory Code and Memory Craft
Anthony Metivier has a compelling personal story and a remarkable, practical methodology of helping us move beyond our stories and into the living truth. With one foot planted firmly in the relative and the other rooted in the Absolute, Anthony has hit the sweet spot that combines the two - which is authentic nonduality.

Awaken Now and The Book of Undoing
With so many memory books out there, this is really the first Ive ever seen that heavily intertwines the ideas of meditation and memory. Ive always felt the two go hand in hand and Anthony really does an amazing job at showing that! I highly recommend this book!

At last, someone has remembered the true purpose and potential of the Art of Memory. In times past, it was seen as a path of self development. Using its methods you could bring health, harmony and excellence into your mind and thus your life. Sadly, this beautiful, beneficial art has been all but forgotten, until now. In this dynamic book, Anthony Metivier teaches you this ancient wisdom with a modern slant. Written from his own experience this is a book that will show you how to develop a magnetic memory that holds the information you wish but also attracts the influences you want into your life.

I now remember whole chunks of passages in another language. Im learning with such ease that I often think it cant be this easy. The real work has been to calm my anxieties, and in this, Anthony is a very wise and effective guide and teacher. I am very grateful to him.

I am usually a bit of an anxious person not always suffering, but just someone with a very chatty mind, Im always thinking, and being able to direct this energy in a productive way is very appealing to me. You have helped me direct my anxiety better.

Anthonys writing always triggers major moments of insight. The Victorious Mind goes deep and far beyond your typical 3 step method. Highly recommended.

Ive witnessed first-hand Anthonys ability to channel his mind into overcoming challenges that would destroy most people. Extraordinary and inspiring.

The Victorious Mind is unlike any book Ive ever read about memory and the human mind. Anthony shares his personal experiences with mental health, advanced memory practices and various types of meditation. He uses engaging personal transformation stories that stayed with me long after I read the book. Its meticulously researched and contains many practices Id never tried. Im already working on my vision statement.

Anthony has spent a lifetime bringing useful information to light on the subject of memory. In his latest work, The Victorious Mind , he opens an amazing door into the world of the human mind, blending ancient memory techniques with captivating meditative experiences. If you want a personal adventure into peace of mind, this is the read for you.
J IM S AMUELS, author of Re-mind Yourself: Better Memory, Lower Stress
In one word... Wow! In this highly engaging and worthwhile book, Anthony shares his personal story... sometimes some very raw and vulnerable moments. I have completed masters studies in neuroscience and thought I knew a fair bit about memory. I even believed my memory capacity was reasonably good. I wasnt even close! After reading The Victorious Mind , I realised there is so much more to embedding and remembering information successfully, which makes our lives more fulfilling.
J OSIE T HOMSON, MCC and author of The Wise Advocate: The Inner Voice of Strategic Leadership (with Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Art Kleiner)
Ive never read a memory book so visceral, yet so practical. Anthony holds nothing back in The Victorious Mind as he tells of his life-long struggle with mental illness in a manner both touching and humorous. I even learned things that I look forward to applying in my own memory training! I cant recommend this book enough for anyone out there looking to improve their mental fitness.

I consider Anthony Metivier a personal mentor. If there is someone who thinks about and uses memory techniques as often as he does, I havent found that person. He connects the dots better than anyone I know and will teach you how to use mnemonics to enhance the quality of your life.
J OHN G RAHAM, 2018 USA Memory Champion
As a neuroscientist, I study the underlying mechanism of memory techniques and I am very interested in their widespread application. Because Anthony is such an expert in this field, having him uncover the use of mnemonics for mental health is fantastic and will help many readers!
