His amazingly easy-to-master guide shows you how to develop a great memory, no matter how weak you think yours is. Scott was just an average guy with a below-average memory who nevertheless went on to become a four-time National Memory Champion.

Students who encounter endless facts to memorize, professionals who make presentations, salespeople who need to put names to faces -- all require the asset of a strong memory. Luckily, as Hagwood proves, memory is a muscle and needs only a little stretching to produce powerful results.

 H+: A New Religion?
 Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono’s groundbreaking new book proposes an entirely positive way of life: with the emphasis not on sins to be avoided, but on things that are to be done.

H+ (Plus) A New Religion? provides a framework for achievement through daily acts of help or contribution. Whether this is offering other people something to laugh at or helping an elderly person cross the road, these altruistic acts bring a sense of achievement, and from achievement come self-esteem and a belief in oneself.
