Perfect for my 91 year-old dad

This is a PRACTICAL, well-written, and therefore easy to understand approach to memory exercise and strengthening. I gave the book to my 91 year-old father who reads and studies select chapters and has tried to use the techniques with excellent success. I found Dr. Green's advice applicable to exactly those situations where my memory is most vulnerable: peoples' names, finding stuff I need and tend to misplace, keeping track of my calendar. Now if I could just remember to USE the techniques I'd be in great shape! An excellent book that makes a great gift because it has such a positive approach to memory maintenance.

Thoughtful, Authoritative, Fun!

Total Memory Workout is truly that - a fully realized memory building program that works. Dr. Green speaks with authority, as well as a good measure of humor and common sense. Get ready to brush aside some cobwebs - you'll find many useful tools here to help sharpen your skills.

Very helpful!!

As the mother of three young children, I thought I was losing my memory, but Green's thoughtful and organized book helped me. Green is obviously an academic scholar but makes complex neuropsychological issues accessible to the lay person.

A memory improvement handbook for people of all ages.

Dr. Green deserves congratulations for this cutting edge book on memory enhancement. Not only is her book a comprehensive guide to the understanding of memory functioning but also a remarkable contribution in the area of memory improvement. The memory exercises are fun, easy to do and incredibly effective. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a memory boost. A genuine memory masterpiece!

It really works!

Reading this book and doing the exercises (which were actually fun) produced immediate results for me. Before, I forgot people's names moments after meeting them and could never find my glasses or car keys when I needed them. Now, I'm doing much, much better. Anyone can benefit from this smart, easy program. Highly recommended.
