In 1966, five-year-old Frank Healy was sick and stayed home from
school. Bored and too ill to get out of bed, Frank began looking at
a calendar and memorized an entire calendar year in a few days.
With additional practice, he memorized everything he experienced by
making mental notes throughout the day, from decades of
Philadelphia weather facts to the history of space flight and a
variety of other subjects.
Healy, a life coach who specializes in improving memory,
documents events that played a part in developing his superior
memory skills and provides insight into his ability to recollect.
He describes his techniques, how he mastered them, and what others
can do, whether the information is for practical use or simply for
entertainment.
With many humorous episodes entwined within, this intriguing
memoir includes puzzles, exercises, and tips for developing memory
skills. You may not need to memorize the calendar or the daily
weather of the past forty years, but "Living with a Phenomenal
Memory" can help you memorize what you do need to know.
