As a counter to this, Dominic O'Brien, the world's memory champion, is a terrific example of how far mental training could take you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_O%27Brien http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_O%27Brien
He started training his memory at the age of 30 and is also dyslexic. Good youtube interview too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N60_d8vvl9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N60_d8vvl9I
- ceejayoz 16y agoMental training, or innate ability?
- sayemm 16y agoMental training, highly recommend his book: "How to Develop a Perfect Memory" - I practice his system and it works
- gtani 16y agoHmm, I'll have to dig out the Oreilly Brain Hacks, see what was there http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101534/ http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101534/ http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007799/ http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007799/
- sayemm 16y agoI've read "Mind Performance Hacks" - it's a cool book. The author put up a great wiki on this stuff too: http://www.ludism.org/mentat http://www.ludism.org/mentat Though I went right ahead to Dominic O'Brien's stuff first - he's the world's best. Like any skill though, it's tedious to get the system down first, but once you do, it's a life skill that gets better w/ practice.
