 Excellent section on diet, medications, etc. Apr 01, 2002
By Harold McFarland
The focus of this book is not on memory techniques such as the LOCI method and while it does mention them and explain them briefly it does not give a lot of detail about them.
Instead it focuses on memory problems as a normal part of aging, medications and diet. Through out the book it mentions Alzheimers and similar concerns and repeatedly speaks about not being concerned about particular memory lapses as you grow older.
It does have thorough coverage of memory myths and how some of these myths create or contribute memory problems as well as the best coverage of diet, medicine, supplements and similar factors of any of the memory books that I have read.
This is a workbook with many excercises to prove their points as well as show how various techniques work and how storing and retrieving memories works in the mind.
If I were asked who I would recommend this book to then it would have to be people in one of two groups. First would be anyone who is aging and thinks that they are having memory lapses more often and are concerned about them. Second would be those who want to know what drugs, nutritional supplements and dietary factors may increase or harm their mental capacities.

New Awareness Jan 06, 2002
By Regina Whitaker
I really appreciate this book. I have noticed many changes in my memory in the last two years. The workbook has been very helpful in providing answers to my questions on how memory functions and ways to adjust and focus my attention in ways that make it fun! In addition, the exercises have been extremely beneficial in developing techniques for me to improve my memory. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in maintaining and improving their memory.

Buck the trend - improve your memory as you age! Sep 26, 2005
By Phyllis Staff
Worried because you forgot some of the items you were supposed to pick up at the grocery? Afraid that your memory lapses may signal impending Alzheimer's disease?
Ease your mind. This book will help you do just that by explaining memory and providing some very helpful techniques for memory improvement.
Along with the surprisingly enjoyable exercises, Mason and Kohn address the kinds of memory loss that are reversible and discuss why certain types of memory degrade with age. They discuss specific drugs that elderly folk often take and explain what their memory consequences might be. They also discuss the role of diet in memory and offer tips for diet and supplements backed up by the latest research.
Instead of giving up and giving in, help an elder improve their memory. Help yourself to a memory like a steel trap instead of a spaghetti strainer. Get this book, do the exercises, and develop a great memory - no matter what your age!
Five stars!

Clever and Original Jun 21, 2006
By R. Pascale
My wife and I decided to investigate our aging memory and started with many other books and programs before finding "The Memory Workbook". This was the last book that we purchased. The book is long and at times difficult and challenging but what a difference we both notice in our memory! This is hands down the best hands on self paced memory program out there. There is a nice section on specific memory disorders and resources.
