 strategies to make the most of your memory."    Dr Norman Swan

 

The Memory book:
Everyday habits for a healthy memory


Judith Wiles & Janet Wiles

 

From the back cover:

  • Do you forget your keys or lose your glasses all the time?
  • Are you embarrassed when you bump into an acquaintance and can't remember their name?
  • Would a special diet or supplements help to improve your memory?

As we age, it can become harder to retain the everyday pieces of information that make life liveable. The Memory Book offers practical strategies for overcoming forgetfulness and dispels common concerns about memory lapses and memory loss.

This indispensable book is based on a survey of people's concerns that shows if you forget names and things you meant to do, you are in good company! It examines how memory works and why it sometimes lets us down, and gives a fascinating insight into how our brains turn thoughts into memories.

The Memory Book is packed with tips and techniques to ensure that we continue to manage our memory well and stay fresh and alert. It is the ideal book for anyone who would like to have a better memory.
