You're nobody 'til somebody brainwashes you.......2007-10-14
Sue Ford ('alias' Brice Taylor, as she helpfully reveals) comes out of the mind-control closet with the mother-of-all exposes, Thanks for the Memories. Conspiracy buffs have long known about the CIA's brainwashing programs (MK-ULTRA et al.), but only Sue Taylor Brice Ford has the guts to name names. And when I say names, I mean names, and plenty of them. Here is a PARTIAL list of high-profile evildoers who have sexually exploited Sue Brice Taylor Ford. Ready? Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Gerald Ford (no relation), "Uncle" Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, Prince Charles, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton (there goes 2008!), Sylvester Stallone, Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson, Neil Diamond, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Bob Hope, and, it goes without saying, Don Ho. Busy beaver, eh? The mind-control sex-slavery game has finally met its Zelig, and her name is Taylor Sue Brice Ford!
Skeptical? Wait until you read the incredibly detailed accounts of her encounters with these various rogues. Now, granted, we have to expect some sketchy recollections from a woman who was brainwashed by the likes of Mister Kissinger. It happens. But some of the dialogue relayed by B.T.S. Ford sounds particularly weird, even for this burgeoning genre. Tommy Lasorda dictating which players will do well on a given night? ("Steve, you're gonna hit a home run. Ron, you're gonna bunt, because you're a runt.") Then there's James Taylor proclaiming that his mid-concert assignation with T.B.S. Ford will help him "perform the second half with gusto!" (He's a football player now?) Last but not least, we have the notion of Sly Stallone fondly reminiscing about "dolphin porn" (natch) and concluding an evening of child abuse with the timeless line "Y'all get back now, ya hear!" On second thought, that actually rings true. My bad.
But wait, there's more! Not only do we get blow-by-blow accounts of Suebrice's hookups with her tormentors (Hot Reagan Action!), we also learn of other high-profile victims! Victims like Barbara Streisand (explains the stage fright), Elvis Presley (explains the film career), and the L.A. Dodgers (explains the postseason flops). The book came out in the 90s, so we're left to wonder which of today's struggling celebrities are in on the mind-control racket, be they exploiters or exploitees. We need a revised edition pronto, Ms. Ford. Get Kissinger on the phone and find out the post-hypnotic trigger for "Sequel."
Thanks For the Memories--Thank God for the Truth.......2007-08-20
For years, I worked as a therapist in many mental health wards of hospitals in California. I had a difficult time understanding many of the patients and their trauma because I had to adhere to the protocols and teachings set forth by the psychiatric/psychological standards. However, when I read Brice's book, "Thank God for the Memories", I began to understand my patients and their trauma. This book tells it "like it is". We need more people like Brice Taylor who are not afraid to tell the truth and who have the courage to inform the rest of the world about their experiences. Thank God for the truth...... This book tells it all!!
Very interesting.......2007-07-12
The people who dismiss this book and thus the premise it's based on with only one star may very well be intellectually dishonest, conceptual "flat earthers" who are completely ignorant of (1) modern-day techniques which have been well developed to deliberately create dissociative personalities, and (2) the willigness of certain people to actually engage in this kind of highly sophisticated cruelty and psychological terror.
This is not to say that one should go to the opposite extreme and accept at face value every one of Brice Taylor/Susan Ford's claims. Many of them are quite outrageous and completely without any sort of documentation and, understandably for many people, this combination is a fatal flaw which makes the whole story seem worthy of nothing more than summary dismissal. On the other hand, the very nature of ritualized psychological torture a.k.a. "mind control" makes documentation or "proof" of the details experienced by individual victims essentially impossible to obtain. Nevertheless there is excellent and very solid documentation for mind control practices scattered about in written literature, all of which can be obtained without reading anything in the genre of "sensational conspiracy theories". Although the book clearly falls into this category, it is still well worth reading in the context of the more substantial documentation that we know exists regarding mind control practices.
One interesting thing I discovered as a result of reading this book: There was a biography written by Arthur Marx called "The Secret Life of Bob Hope" which describes the man in rather unflattering terms that are completely at odds with public perception. In a nutshell, the book says that Bob Hope's sleazy character traits were very well known within Hollywood inner circles but that this knowledge never made it past the PR front men. Of course this doesn't prove anything that Brice Taylor/Susan Ford has claimed, but if you believe her, it certainly makes it easier to "connect the dots".
The Secret Life of Bob Hope/an Unauthorized Biography
An Interesting But Utterly Implausible Story.......2006-05-05
Brice Taylor's story is not unusual in the context of its subject (mind-control experiments and their human survivors). What makes it unusual is the specific set of claims she makes and the complete lack of records that would have to exist for even a fraction of them to be true. As an example, she claims to have attended many high-level political meetings at the side of Henry Kissinger, among others, meetings for which photo documentation often exists and in which Brice does not appear.
If there were only one such claim, it might be plausible, but the sheer number of her claims make this highly unlikely. Without revealing details of her story, it is safe to say that the chances of this being any meaningful biography are extraordinarily slim. Over and over again the author claims to have been spirited away by government agents for nefarious purposes via helicopter, to have had private and personal relations with virtually every well-known political figure of the last 30 years even while in grade school, and to have lived most of her life brainwashed to not remember any of it. In fact, she relates two accidents as the triggers which caused her to regain her repressed memories. What is more likely, from both a scientific and logical perspective, is that the accidents induced such memories. Even the author admits in the disclaimer that some or all of her narrative may well be untrue!
In fact, certain things the author mentions in the book as being triggers sent out to her specifically to invoke her programming are things like the names of streets she drove past on her way home or to work. Popular songs, movies, and such things also, according to her, were set up to contain triggers meant for her specifically.
All these things, when taken with her other claims, point less to the idea of the aftereffects of mind control experimentation and more to something like schizophrenia. Linking and finding meaning between two unrelated bits of data, as the author does more than once, is one of the important indicators of schizophrenia, particular paranoid schizophrenia.
This story is indeed the tragic autobiography of a vicitm, but not of mind control. Rather, it seems to be the story of the ravages of mental illness and how some forms can leave a person apparently functional in many ways, but revealed by a penetrating analysis.
None of this is to say I did not enjoy the book. Indeed, I did. However, it is better as an insight into the mind of a schizophrenic than that of a mind-control survivor. Unless appropriate documentation can be produced in support of her story, the author's treatise is best not to be relied on as a serious resource for investigators.
Susan Ford's False Memory Scam.......2006-02-04
Brice Taylor's actual name is Sue Ford, a Beverly Hills debutant, and victim of incest and perhaps Multiple Personality Disorder, now named Dissociative Identity Disorder in DSM-IV. Ford got her degree in psychology before she "recovered" her memories, and perhaps was falsely influenced by reading other people's life stories. According to Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, in their 2004 book "Access Denied for Reasons of National Security", Ford stole the fictionalized novel from her "ex-roommate" and its ghost writer, Rod Robinson (also a victim of incest and perhaps DID/MPD. Robinson told O'Brien, "I am an author writing a FICTIONAL book on mind control that incorporates much of the information Sue was able to obtain THROUGH HER THERAPIST," (NOT from Sue herself). This book was never about Sue Ford, aka "Brice Taylor". It is more based on the life of Cathy O'Brien, who collaborated on the facts of her deprogramming for which Robinson's novel is loosely based. Ford paid Phillips $500/month rent in return for living with him and O'Brien and Phillip's brain-damaged mother, but Ford claims to have paid Phillips $75,000. After reading Ford's so-called notes of her memories, Phillips wrote, "she either is deliberately perpetrating fraud or is indeed the victim of false memories from her therapists." O'Brien's daughter is also named Kelly, who was kidnapped into a Satanic cult run by the state of Tennessee, and a Nazi electroshock hospital run by Vanderbilt University, and scheduled for a court-ordered "exorcism by Satanists" (oxymoron). "Laws do not apply for reasons of national security", according to Judge Andrew Shookhoff, ignoring the Tennessee legislature's new law in O'Brien's daughter's name. When Robinson said he was almost finished writing his novel, Ford replied, "Since my experience was only incest, I guess I have nothing to contribute.... I want my name on the cover." Robinson replied, "If you'll do the legwork on getting the book printed and pay half the printing cost, you can add your name to the cover." "Really? My name can be on the cover of STARSHINE?", she asked. Robinson replied, "Right after mine. You've got the manuscript right there. When you solidify the deal the deal to have it printed, I'll wire you half the money." O'Brien asked her why she wanted to use an alias on the book, wondering why a person with DID would want a new identity. "For legal reasons," Ford replied. "It never occurred to me, Mark or Rod that Sue would eventually remove Rod's name from his book entirely, ironically change the title to "Thanks for the Memories", and keep all the sales profits," O'Brien wrote. "She plans to release Rod's fiction book as her reality, so she can use mind control as a defense to any crime. We asked her to leave immediately." So "Brice Taylor's" book is useful, at least for general background on CIA' MKULTRA, and background on O'Brien's first book, "Trance Formation of America". producer@PirateNews.org
Book Description
The collective consciousness of World War II revolved around the virtues of bravery, sacrifice, and commitment. Members of "The Greatest Generation" toed political and social lines in hopes of winning the war. They fell into lockstep, asking very few questions, and breaking few social and sexual mores. Or did they? In fact, World War II was--like all wars--a time of sexual experimentation and a general loosening of morals. It was a time of conflicting emotions and conflicting messages, a time of great sacrifice, and a time of discovery, when some groups, especially woman, experienced a relaxing of bonds that had kept them in check. Thanks For The Memories: Love, Sex, and World War IIfs the true story of how the World War II generation responded to the passions of war, and how those passions changed their lives-and the relationships between the sexes-forever. But this book is more than that. As Jane Mersky Leder writes, "Thanks for the Memories opens the hearts and memories of a generation that is dying, by one estimate, at the rate of more than 1,000 a day." It exposes the sexual and romantic escapades of "The Greatest Generation" and underscores how those four war years revolutionized relationships (including those between gays), and how it helped set the stage for the second wave of the women's liberation movement. "Many who never thought their stories mattered," Leder writes, "now feel the pull of limited time, and the importance of leaving an accurate account for their children and grandchildren of what it was like to be a young man or young woman during World War II. This is their collective story.

An enlightening read.......2007-05-07
I enjoyed reading this book because it gives a more balanced picture of what people were really doing during the war. That is exactly what people always do given the circumstances in which they find themselves. They had sex, they cheated, they longed for each other. Some stayed faithful, some got divorced. So, they maybe weren't the greatest generation, they just did what people do. Interesting stories about real people's lives. This needed to be written and was written well.
Reviewed by Sabrina Williams.......2007-01-24
The premise of Jane Mersky Leder's Thanks for the Memories: Love, Sex, and World War II is to illustrate a shift in the way World War II society viewed sexuality. The views that emerged at this time have continued to shape us to this day. Leder brings forth some information that challenges the romanticized ideal that male soldiers stoicly served their country while wives and girlfriends waited patiently at home for their loves to return. The parents of the "baby boomer" generation were hardly the reserved innocents most of us believe them to be.
Soldiers and young adults from World War II relate anecdotes of turmoil and confusion, sparsely dotted with the stereotypical love affairs found so commonly in World War II stories. From sexual harrassment, sexual and racial discrimination, high percentages of enlisted homosexuals, legal prostitution, veneral diseases, and promiscuous "khaki whackies" intent on serving the country in their own ways, readers begin to see the war years as a time of self-discovery and a challenge to the conservative morals so readily adopted by previous generations. In actuality, World War II was the beginning of a sexual revolution that is typically believed to have begun in the Vietnam War Era.
Leder does an excellent job of presenting a liberal shift in sexuality that most of us assumed occurred much later in the twentieth century. Those expecting a torrid novel of sexual deviants should look elsewhere--this book is strictly academic nonfiction. However, Leder offers a refreshing viewpoint of a sentimental era that humanizes a generation once thought of as chaste and conservative.
Highly recommend.......2006-12-20

World War II changed things, "the lives of American men and women would never be the same. The United States was at war, a war that would forever change the landscape of American society and balance of power between the sexes." Long has it been romanticized, creating visions of last-minute marriages before a soldier going to war, people willingly sacrificing for the war effort and women faithfully keeping the home fires burning while waiting for their man to return. But these are just visions. Ms. Leder allows readers to look at World War II from a different angle.
No one had ever expected the country to fall into such a deep depression. In 1933, "the Great Depression, which spanned over a decade from 1930 to 1941, with aftershocks up until American's entry into World War II at the end of 1941, ruined lives, derailed dreams, and changed the course of personal relationships."
Birth control wasn't the standard during this era. "The Comstock Act prevented disseminating birth control information through the mail or across state lines." "There were 55 birth control clinics in 23 cities in 12 states." Margaret Sanger challenged the Act and the Supreme Court repealed it.
Sex education was non-existent; sex was a topic that wasn't discussed. "When it came to sex, the Motion Picture Production code, commonly known as the Hays Code, was crystal clear. The sanctity of the institution of marriage and the home shall be upheld."
Jane Mersky Leder is an excellent writer and has written a fascinating book that discusses facts and myths concerning a period in American history that changed society and the relationships between men and women. She has done an excellent job documenting the information. The cover is wonderfully done, reminding us of the romantic myth we've grown up believing in. My husband is very interested in this period of time and I intend to share this book with him. I highly recommend "Thanks for the Memories: Love, Sex, and World War II" to those interested in history.

Penzler Pick, April 2002: The second novel by Baine Kerr is, like his first, Harmful Intent, a densely plotted thriller with the threads of the story meandering here and there, the author apparently in no hurry to get to the crux of his story. It is a device that, in the hands of a less talented writer, might frustrate the reader, but here it is a pleasure to go along for the ride during which a richly textured story infolds.
It begins on December 25, 1993, in Laramie, Wyoming. June Mooney, the only female engineer at the train yard, has signed up for duty on Christmas Day because her daughter is with June's ex. Dale Stillwell, a loner, has also signed up for duty. In the middle of a raging blizzard, June is in the trailing cab of a locomotive, steering it through the yard while Dale hangs off the lead engine checking switches and giving the go ahead. As June's engine starts down a line to a spur, an outbound coal train stands in the cutoff. Dale is straining to see through the snow and, as he glimpses the cowcatchers of the coal train close in with 6 inches to spare, he clambers up the rungs of his engine, misses one, loses his hold, and slips between the trains. He is rolled and then dropped with two collapsed lungs, 11 broken bones, and a bolt jammed into his skull. June never saw a thing.
This story is told by Elliott Stone, the court-appointed conservator for Dale Stillwell in the matter of Stillwell vs. The Western Pacific Railroad. As conservator, Elliott is making sure the financial settlement being hammered out between the lawyers for each side is fair. June is there, but now she's June Stillwell, having married Dale and devoted her life to nursing him. June reminds Elliott of his wife who, two years earlier, died unexpectedly. Elliott doesn't really want this job, but he is persuaded to take the case by Stillwell's doctor, Hans Leitner. Elliott owes Leitner a favor for getting him an appointment in The Hague to join the prosecutor's office at the United Nations criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The settlement is agreed upon and Elliott can leave for Europe but, as he leaves the courthouse, he overhears Dale Stillwell muttering over and over "I'm going to k-kill her!"
Two years pass and Elliott returns to discover that June Stillwell is in the Colfax Center for Rehabilitation with other hopeless patients after being brutally attacked in her bed by person or persons unknown and with an object which nobody can identify.
The stage is set. When a series of deaths occur at the Colfax Center, Elliott is in a unique position to connect the deaths at Colfax with European war crimes--and that connection is shocking. --Otto Penzler

Full of wit, but no surprises.......2003-07-30
I loved reading about Helen and her interactions with the White House. Especially entertaining were her descriptions of the Gridiron dinners where she was often portraying first ladies in skits.
This was a fast read, fun and entertaining. However, it came as no surprise that Nixon had a dark humor, Reagan was always full of hot air and President Jr. and Sr. need to work on their command of the English language. What was great about the book was that it allowed us in to see a very human side of the working White House. I felt a part of the briefings and press conferences.
After reading the book, I could honestly say that I knew more about the personalities of each president. Just by the tidbits in this book, it seems as though Jimmy Carter and Gerry Ford were the most genuine. Bill Clinton was certainly the most entertaining and sadly, our current president, does not always make the best impression.
Lighthearted and jovial, Helen entertains us for all 240 pages.
The Side of Important men Few Get to See.......2003-01-08
Helen Thomas shares the lighter side of nine presidents and their wives with the people whom do not know them so well. She re-tells jokes and conversations held between herself and nine presidents in her time of being "dean of the White House Press Corps".
She implies that not all presidents are alike. Every one of them is different. While the chapter on Kennedy was quite humorous, that of Reagan's was less humorous and more about how he handled the press. There are many examples of humor in chpt 1. On page 19 it tells of how on the way to one of the campaign trials, Kennedy had to wear a dark blue suit with brown shoes because black shoes were not packed. After finding out that nobody had an extra pair to lend him and he would have to attend like so, he took it very lightly. He laughed when made a joke out of and found it quite amusing himself.
Helen Thomas also implies that no matter how serious the job of being president is, they are just regular human beings. Just because they are president does not mean they do not have characteristics of an average man. By giving each and every president a sense of humor with their own little edge added to it, we see that they are regular people who like to laugh and make others laugh here and there. It makes the president's more familiar and relatable to the average man. Everyone can appreciate a little humor and by showing this average man quality in every one of these nine presidents the people find them to be more real, more life-like. Humans are the only animals who can be humorous or have a sense of humor. Dogs cannot laugh at your jokes, and kangaroos do not tell them. Therefore when this trait is put in the spotlight as the defining traits of people whom appear to be larger than life, it humanizes them.
The author's thesis can be argued. One could easily argue that the presidents are nothing like an average human being and they deserve to be held up to a high standard, and are to be considered the very highest of flawless humans. A big deal was made of President Clinton's flaw, therefore showing that as average people, we have much higher standards for presidents and do not see them as being capable of having characteristics of our friends. Therefore it can be argued that Presidents are not like the rest of us.It can also be argued that maybe the humor that is portrayed is a tool in trying to convince the people that they are their friends. Like the method of campaigning, "I am just like you", they might be trying to make themselves seem to have the same characteristics as the people, but in reality do not. It may be a ploy for support.
I would recommend this book for the humor and the side of a president's life that we as people critiquing the government hardly ever see. The book was fast paced and very entertaining.
Was not very funny.......2003-01-08
This book was a compilation of anecdotes from 40 years of working in the White House. Although I found some stories to be humorous, I enjoyed very little of the book. Although the cute stories humanize our nations presidents, knocking down their "God like" image, I believe that there was no reason behind writing this book besides the fact that she could.
I found some stories interesting, and I even cracked a smile on a rare occasion, but for the most part, this was just a silly way for Ms. Thomas to get money for a whole lot of who cares. Maybe if I had grown up during the past 40 years she was referring to, I might appreciate it more, but for the younger reader, it offers very little in entertainment.
Not a lot of wit and barely any wisdom.......2002-12-31
Much to my chagrin, most of the "memories" within the book are NOT those of Helen Thomas. She compiled various anecdotes from various members of the White House staff and the press corps and threw them together with no overall sense of cohesion (save the chapter division by president).
I have a beautifully autographed copy of the book and cherish it because I know Helen Thomas has been capable of a lot more "wit and wisdom" in her many years as a journalist than what this book reflects. If you are looking for an endearing memoir of Helen`s time in the White House, this isn`t it. One does not get a feel for how Mrs. Thomas` job has affected her (aside from her usual cantankerous quips which are readily available from other sources), and the "writing" can`t be evaluated as it is simply a bunch of secondary source material strung together by lengthy quotations. In a word, disappointing.
I liked it.......2002-12-09
What was going on and said in the White House from where she was standing definitely made for some interesting stories. Well written and intimate.

Lovely journal.......1999-12-20
I own several of the Peter Pauper Press Guided Journals, and love them all. This is no exception - it's a sturdy spiral-bound hardcover, with a cutout "frame" on the front cover that opens onto the full color inside page, which is a painting of flowers. The lined paper inside the journal is a good quality, a cream color that is thick enough so that you can't see your writing showing through on the other side. A nice lightly-printed border that looks like leaves with fruit runs along the top of each page. Like all of the guided journals, this one has quotes inset on every other page, from a wide range of sources... proverbs, writers throughout history, philosophers, and even modern people. Here's one of my favorites: "To live our lives with gratitude is to live with no insistence on our own worth, but to cherish and respect the worth of every other person." -- Doug King

I had forgotten so much!.......2003-11-07
This was a great refresher of memories from Catholic school that I had filed away for too long! Beverly did a great job of using the details to remind us of the bigger picture --- how fortunate we are to have been educated by people so dedicated, so loving, and so faithful to God. This is an awesome tribute, and a humorous and touching light read. Thank you, BVMs! And thank you, Beverly.
With all the various controversies. . ........2003-07-01
. . .swirling around the Catholic Church today, "Thank you, Sister" is a beautiful and refreshing change.
Neither deep theology, nor modern controversy, "Thank you, Sister" is the loving memoir of a woman who spent 8 years in Catholic grammar school in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The author credits her own loving upbringing to her own eventual decision to become a teacher herself.
There is a lot of evil in the world, and some of it is in the Church itself. This book serves as a powerful reminder that there is -- and ever has been -- far more good than evil, and that good will ultimately triumph.
A heartwarming read.

Effective Memory Techniques for Small to Medium Sized Business Owners.......2007-04-23
The author does a great job of thoroughly explaining our memory, how it works and more interestingly, he gives you over 150 key ideas you can use to improve YOUR memory.
While there is no drug that's proven to improve memory in healthy adults, Klemm's techniques work!
It's ironic that he gives his readers (presumably who perceive themselves to have less-than-stellar memories) so many techniques to learn - I will be hard pressed to remember them all - but how many techniques you remember is not important, as long as you focus on the key techniques that really matter to you.
For small business owners, his techniques will be especially helpful for remembering customers and contact names and faces, details about your business - and for remembering what you read in this fast-paced world we live in.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their memory, look smarter, network more effectively and feel more confident in your ability to remember key information and make a good impression on others.
SILLY TITLE, SERIOUSLY INTERESTING SUBJECT.......2007-03-12
Bill Klemm has been with us for a while. For about 40 yrs now he has been teaching and publishing books and articles on brain function. And if we've been paying attention we've been adding to our brains capacity throughout this period. But, if you're like me, and have just discovered Bill and his work, your in luck.
Bill's new book has a slightly silly title, but it's no lightweight little piece of fluff. Instead we are treated to a delightfully thorough, behind the scenes analysis, of how we create memories. As you can imagine, being a Ph.D. an all, there are some big words included within. But no to worry, Bill's worked long enough with his students to realize that everyone learns in a specific fashion and he offers several slants on his subject.
While he includes numerous common methods such as pegs, the picturing of related things hanging off a system of pegs, to acrostics, where the first letter of each word serves as a cue, to acronyms, think YMCA, he also offers us a host of other easy methods to increase our memory.
But the real helpful bits are why, how, when, where, and how much we are capable of remembering. And along the way we also learn how sleep can play an important part, how alcohol can be detrimental, and why we no longer need to subscribe to the myth that getting older means getting forgetful.
This is science at it's most fun. We all can't be Ph.D.'s, but with this little book we can astonish the grandkids, one up our college buddies pulling all-nighters, and best of all remember the name of that hunky guy or gorgeous gal we met at that party last week and now run into at the grocery store.
A helpful book of substance.......2007-03-04
Here's a book on improving your memory by one who knows what he's talking about. Bill Klemm is a professor of neuroscience who, for 40 years, has been publishing research on brain function.
Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "What a maddening thing a memory can be, dodging away from you when you're trying desperately to snag it, descending around you like a collapsing tent when you most want to forget it." How true.
Bill Klemm comes with help for this "maddening thing." He offers insight on how to remember. He shows the reader how to cooperate with his brain, learning how it works best. He gives advice on how to best study for an exam. He clues us in on the role of sleep and dreaming in forming lasting memories. Are there supplements which can help us? Are there chemicals which hinder?
I've read lots of books about memory. This book, though, isn't like others I've read: it isn't a book of tricks ("How to amaze your friends in ten easy lessons"). This is a book of substance: a review of the science of memory. I've grown from it, and I enjoyed it.
Good, solid information. Great read!.......2007-02-22
The work of Bill is very relevant for absolutely every age group from
young to old. As I read this book, I realized some of the issues one
has to keep remembering things, places, events, people's names; and the
tools one can utilize to turn the situation around. Because of the
insight Bill provides, this book is a confidence builder; a must read
for those interested in improving their memory, becoming more effective
at what they do and feeling empowered.
Remember This Book.......2007-02-04
Dr. Klemm strikes a chord, again and again, addressing a variety of situations in which we think our memories "fail" us: in school, at work, at a party, around the home, the office. Scientific and lab experiences aside, the book offers a lot of tips for changing the way we learn and recall. / Simple ways to learn social skills like remembering the names of 10 people you just met. Using a skeleton outline instead of taking notes in class. And, for long-term recall, figuring out the answers rather than memorizing them. But Thank You Brain is more than a how-to book. When Klemm points out the short attention spans of today's kids he opens a discussion about the need to change the way our teachers teach their students. "Yes, it's true that learning is hard work," he says. The brain works harder to learn a new thing than it does to maintain a memory or a process. Exercise the brain by learning unique, foreign processes and the brain gets intricately involved in learning the requirements for the new subject, and you keep it active, alert, sharp. Klemm talks about the FOCUSED brain and how difficult it is to divide its attention, for example, when driving and using a cell phone. And how drug abuse hijacks the brain's coping system, takes it out of the loop and removes its power to manage emotions. He says recall is not the same as memory. Recalling someone's name is easier when all the original cues are present, such as when and where you knew that person in the first place. This is a fascinating read and one that gives the reader the knowledge to sharpen his own memory and recall.
