Terrible.
Consists, more than anything, of these extended "affirmations" where you're supposed to repeat phrases like "I have a great memory"... that's MOST of the entire cd.
Otherwise, they do mention some tips for trying to remember names, and do actually discuss a technique to use in trying to remember a list of items.
But hey... what if you have a JOB that requires you to be on top of myriad facts and concepts, formulas, etc... that are not arranged in neat little lists. My father-in-law can read engineering manuals that are boring as can be, and he can retain the info. This tape/cd is USELESS for providing hints at how to tackle stuff like that. Sure, it's great for parlor tricks: memorize names of people in an audience and develop the ability to memorize a list of anything the audience wants you to memorize... but nothing more.
De-programming the "I forgot" or "I can't remember" attitude
Have you ever re-introduced yourself to a person, and asked for their name again like: "Hi, i'm sorry i forgot your name". This tape shows you, and makes it clear, in no uncertain terms, that it is not your memory that is the problem. It is the lack of focus, and attention. The "affirmations", although admittedly quirky, are necesary in remembering the fact that you did not forget that persons name. You just weren't paying enough attention.
The audio tape is started with an introduction as to the purpose of the tape: To get you started in basic memorization, and attention focusing techniques. The tape will take you over the basics of the PEG memorization technique (effective for remembering lists). This tape will help to remind you to focus more clearly next time you talk to someone. It will help you remember names and long lists of things. IF you participate.
Terrible
The worst audio book ever. They repeat the 10 mins or so of affirmations 2-3 times on each side of the casette wasting any time they might have had to teach you something and the affirmations are not even that good.
