Why do we forget something? How can you learn several languages and connect completely unrelated things in your memory? Is it possible to become smarter with the help of a brain workout? The author of this book, a multiple world champion in mnemonics, gives you a unique opportunity to look into the mysterious world of remembering and forgetting and expand your knowledge about the human brain and memory. “You are holding in your hands a book about memory, on the pages of which it is viewed from a new angle. Naturally, this book, among other things, is about the brain - after all, memory and the brain are inseparable from each other. You'll learn about how the brain creates memories, the nerve cells that store affection for Jennifer Aniston, and memory systems that last only for fractions of a second. You will find out exactly how the brain helps us remember something and whether we really never forget anything. You will learn to assess the state of your memory and understand what needs to be done to improve it, and most importantly, when to do it. Whoever wants to can create a “superbrain” from his thinking organ. Actually, you already have it!” Boris Conrad
