Marilu Henner - Total Memory Makeover: Uncover Your Past, Take Charge of Your Future

LIVE THE UNFORGETTABLE LIFE YOU WERE MEANT TO HAVE! LET YOUR MEMORIES BE YOUR GUIDE!

This book is not only about my memory and the feats I can accomplish with it, but what this ability has taught me, and how you can use these lessons to transform your memory, your past, and ultimately, your future. Marilu Henner

If you could remember the confidence you felt when your prom date said yes, could it embolden you to ask for a raise today? Could the thrill you felt fitting into your skinny jeans five years ago inspire you to skip the doughnuts this morning? Would the details of your early days with a heartbreaking ex help you recognize the potential red flags in a sexy new romance?

Marilu Henner says, YES!

In this revolutionary new book, the New York Times bestselling author, renowned health advocate, actress, performer, and memory expert helps you develop the ability to remember more of your past, to recall it more clearly, and most of all, to understand your memories as a blueprint for the extraordinary life you were meant to have!

Marilu is gifted with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), a rare and incredible ability that allows her to vividly recall every detail of her life since childhood. While most of us may prefer to keep the unhappy times buried in the past, Marilu has discovered that only by remembering what happened then can we change our lives for a better now.

The past is prelude to the future. But how much of our lives do most of us really remember? And what would our memories tell us if they could? Get ready to harness the power of your autobiographical memory . Total Memory Makeover is unlike any memory book ever written. Its not about using mnemonic devices or unusual strategies to remember lists, definitions, names, or numbers.

The simple, practical (and fun!) exercises in this unique book will help you:

To my memorable guys, Michael, Nick, and Joey

I would like to thank the following people for their love and encouragement (and help!) throughout this daunting, but, ultimately, gratifying process.

I had always wanted to write a memory book, but it wasnt until the 60 Minutes story that people really understood what HSAM was. None of that would have been possible had it not been for the ever-impressive Lesley Stahl. Just writing her name, many of the images from our almost twenty-eight years of friendship come flooding in, so Ill stop here and just say a huge thank you, Lesley. You are not only a force of nature, you are also the godmother of all things HSAM. Her remarkable team at 60 Minutes: the fearless Shari Finkelstein who started this process as the skeptical producer, but continues on as a true friend; the ebullient Jennie Held whose phone calls were always a blast; to Matthew Lev who was helpful to their team during this process and David Rubin who was the first person who told me, Youre going to be known for this more than for Taxi!
