Everyday Memory Builder

I conduct self improvement seminars and have always had a terrible time remembering my participant's names so I purchased this book and read it on the plane on my way to an engagement. I was amazed at how easy the applications were. The visuals in the book were terrific and the exercises were fun. The best part was that I actually put it into practice right after and it worked! I now include it in a bibliography of books...
