Good hints on constructing a memory palace

Would you listen to How to Learn & Memorize Poetry...Using a Memory Palace Specifically Designed for Memorizing Poetry again? Why?

Yes. The specific advice how to build a good memory palace and which mistakes to avoid was very useful.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

not quite as billed

this guy is a little too busy telling you to make sure and get your friends to buy his stuff to really spend too much time on memory techniques and examples. there are some interesting ideas and some tidbits at the very end, like a movie after credit sequence that you might miss if you stop, after he gets done telling you how great he is some more, but overall not worth the time. sorry. luckily it is short so try it if you want but i think i'd rather look elsewhere. and i have used some memory techniques for test taking that worked great for me, but he doesn't even mention them. and as far as poetry, which is after all in the title, there are almost no examples.

Disappointing

Sometimes you find good content on Audible amongst the mounds of self published garbage. This gets categorized squarely in the latter group. Poorly edited... it shares huge blocks of text from the author’s other books, without even having been modified to fit the topic at hand. If you buy the book on memorizing poetry, he refers several times to memorizing Vietnamese vocabulary (which he has a separate book on).

The book also constantly refers to the author’s website and courses.

Quick hint on business for the author- if you want to gain my trust such that I will be interested in becoming a return customer, provide value, instead of selling me your commercial and then expecting that I’ll spend more money for the actual information.

This is an incredibly lazy effort. Will not be touching anything else by this author. He’s undermined any credibility he had by his off putting business practices.
