About the Book:
This is one of those rare books that can help all of us with something that is both troublesome and worrisome — our memory. It does this with ease, not by attempting to teach some exhausting rote-memory techniques, but in 12 easy and effortlessly smooth steps.
Shakuntala Devi's down-to-earth writing and encouraging step-by-step approach puts super memory in reach of everyone. As she says, 'Take my word. You can start applying my memory-enhancing techniques immediately, right now. Before you will realize, applying my methods and strategies will become your second nature.'
Shakuntala Devi has been honing and teaching her memory improvement techniques for more than 40 years. Super Memory is the result of her life's work, specially tailored to our needs as we age, and encompassing all of the many ways we can use a better memory every day.
Shakuntala Devi (4-11-1929 - 20-4-2013) lacked any formal education but possessed an extraordinary ability to complete the most complex mathematical calculations in double-quick time that she became known as "the human computer".
As India's most remarkable mathematical prodigy, she had astounded friends and family with her numerical prowess since childhood. In June 1980, at Imperial College, London, accurately multiplied two random 13-digit numbers in a few seconds, a feat that earned her a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Her ability to solve complicated arithmetical problems with apparent ease and astonishing speed had stunned observers since the 1970s. Witty and sharp-minded, she possessed exceptional powers of retention and appeared to harness the power of several mnemonic devices in her brain.
