Improving your memory

"This handbook discusses how memory works, how it changes with age, and, most importantly, how it can be improved. The authors explain why people remember what they do, what kind of effort remembering requires, and various conditions that can affect anyone's memory - such as stress, illness, and depression. Their helpful tools for understanding and improving memory include techniques and exercises that anyone can use. Best of all, most readers will see immediate improvement in their memory after just one use."--Jacket.
