Any type of book that relates to how to improve your brain is always something I am interested in。 I went to school for gerontology， ultimately because I was always fascinated in how the brain work as we age。 Being able to read this book on how we are able to generate memories based off the time， where we were， who we are with etc is something I feel like everyone would be curious in reading about。 This book shows you how to improve your memory so if you're someone like me who has goldfish memor Any type of book that relates to how to improve your brain is always something I am interested in。 I went to school for gerontology， ultimately because I was always fascinated in how the brain work as we age。 Being able to read this book on how we are able to generate memories based off the time， where we were， who we are with etc is something I feel like everyone would be curious in reading about。 This book shows you how to improve your memory so if you're someone like me who has goldfish memory， this is one to pick up。 Hopefully the lessons in this book stick with me and I apply it to my everyday routine lol 。 This is most likely something I would add to my shelf therefore when this book gets published， Thank you NetGalley， Skyhorse Publishing and Richard Restak for the ARC 。。。more

This book explains how the memory works and provides techniques the reader can use to improve their memorization skills。 It's easy to read and should be understandable for beginners in the topic。 Thanks， NetGalley， for the ARC I received。 This is my honest and voluntary review。 This book explains how the memory works and provides techniques the reader can use to improve their memorization skills。 It's easy to read and should be understandable for beginners in the topic。 Thanks， NetGalley， for the ARC I received。 This is my honest and voluntary review。 。。。more

I read books about the brain often because I find the brain fascinating and because Alzheimer's runs in my family。 Before I even requested this ARC from NetGalley， I researched author Restak -- this would be Dr。 Restak， well-known neurologist and neuropsychiatrist， professor， and author of many books。 Restak and his book did not disappoint me。 The book is grounded solidly in research， but it is not difficult to read。 I like knowing where various thoughts， memories， and actions originate in the s I read books about the brain often because I find the brain fascinating and because Alzheimer's runs in my family。 Before I even requested this ARC from NetGalley， I researched author Restak -- this would be Dr。 Restak， well-known neurologist and neuropsychiatrist， professor， and author of many books。 Restak and his book did not disappoint me。 The book is grounded solidly in research， but it is not difficult to read。 I like knowing where various thoughts， memories， and actions originate in the specific parts of the brain。 I know other readers do not。 Restak occasionally names the various parts of the brain; however， he does not do it every time。 His research is current （as current as one's publication dates allow） because I know of some of the researchers and their research discussed in this book （e。g。 Alia Crum）。 What did I feel Restak brought to the table？ Research into memory and the brain is an absolute must have， yet I can get that from podcasts。 Restak weaves together historical background， quotes from literary fiction， and case studies into his research with descriptive and imaginative language -- all of which applies what has been learned thus far about memory。 Included in the chapters are practical exercises and ideas to try。 My husband and I both took the "Is My Memory Functioning Normally" quiz。 I read this comprehensive book from June 1 to June 5， ending up with 37 bookmarks。 I need the actual book in my hands and on my bookshelves， so I will be purchasing my own physical copy。 Thanks to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for this ARC。 。。。more

I received an ARC of this book from Skyhorse via Edelweiss+。 I was delighted to see this on their platform as I have been looking for a memory book that I can recommend to clients in my psychological testing practice。 This book exceeded all expectations for what I could have wanted in a book on memory。 I found this book absolutely fascinating。 The author does a great job of reviewing the history of memory， both how it has been conceptualized and studied differently over time。 I especially apprec I received an ARC of this book from Skyhorse via Edelweiss+。 I was delighted to see this on their platform as I have been looking for a memory book that I can recommend to clients in my psychological testing practice。 This book exceeded all expectations for what I could have wanted in a book on memory。 I found this book absolutely fascinating。 The author does a great job of reviewing the history of memory， both how it has been conceptualized and studied differently over time。 I especially appreciated how approachable the material was。 The book is clearly grounded in research but not in a difficult to read way。 Information is distilled to essential concepts presented in an easy to understand manner。 Dr。 Restak provides just enough information without being overwhelming。 There are enough case studies to be interesting but not enough to be bored。 Graphics are used sparingly but in an appropriate fashion。 The most valuable part of the book relates to the exercises Dr。 Restak provides to help readers improve various forms of memory。 The exercises are simple， yet challenging。 Of the challenges I’ve tried to far my favorite has been the n-back challenge。 I am looking forward to trying them all。Overall， as a licensed psychologist who works with clients with memory concerns， I cannot recommend this book enough。 When this book is published in early July I will be purchasing a copy for myself and recommending this to many past and future clients。 。。。more
