Overcomplicated
The first method in the book should just be replaced by memory palaces and the peg system inside of them. Later in the book, number code system is ridiculous and could easily be substituted with traditional mnemonic memory techniques. Why on earth would you create an additional non-logical step of linking numbers to non associated letters of the alphabet and then use those letters to create words?? Like come on now… just picture numbers 0-9 as objects that they look like, for example picture 0 as a Ball or Frisbee and picture 7 as a Flag Pole with a Flag at full mast, Then use a simple linked list method to memorize the order of the larger number.
Also there is multiple times in multiple suggested systems where the system is described as a 2 object or 2 step system and then the explanation and examples proceed to use 3+ objects or steps.
There is some half decent concepts in this book, but do yourself a favor and just read a book about simple mnemonic memory and memory palaces. Those systems are widely applicable and easy to learn, whereas the systems in this book are narrowly focused and overcomplicated.
I would say that the only thing that i learned in this book that i will put into practice is audionyms… but thats about it.
