Summary: It really Works
Comment: I bought the Memory Workbook and began sifting through it casually. After awhile I found myself more and more engrosed. I have noticed a significant improvement in my memory and my confidence. I've recommended it to friends and family!

Summary: The Memory Workbook provides a comprehensive and fun program
Comment: Douglas J. Mason, Psy. D., a neuropsychologist and gerontologist, has spoken about this memory program on ABC World News Now, NPR, and other radio and television programs. The Memory Workbook provides a comprehensive program designed to help rewire the mental habits that interfere with memory functioning. It offers multiple fun techniques that will challenge your assumptions, get you in touch with your senses and memory experiences, identify and use your natural strengths, help you focus on what is important. The authors include the latest scientific findings, neurological assessments, information about medications, memory disorders, and resources for additional help. The book is written with a sense of humor and it entertains as it teaches.

Summary: Excellent section on diet, medications, etc.
Comment: 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.
