I can’t say that I improved my memory by ‘500%’ by doing Mega Memory. Once they realise ‘Hey, this actually works! I can do this!’, they are more open to learning about other strategies that will make a difference to their studies and life. Secondly, it shows students how they learn information best and thirdly, it builds their confidence. Firstly, it helps them to memorise lists of information really easily and quickly. I sometimes teach students this technique in workshops for several reasons. In my opinion, it is the simplest memory technique to learn (it takes about 5 minutes to learn). One of the first memory techniques his program teaches is the Peg-Word Mnemonic. He also knew about the importance of taking baby steps to slowly build your confidence. They can be applied to all areas of our lives. Mr Trudeau’s ground rules should not be limited to studying memory techniques. We can find it hard to focus and think clearly. Most of us know the effect of eating too much sugar or a greasy, heavy meal before studying or working. No sugar or white flour before going through a lesson.No alcohol or drugs before going through a lesson.No heavy eating before going through a lesson.In lesson 1 of his program, he sets out some really smart ground rules for taking his program. I have to hand it to Mr Trudeau, he knew a thing or two about effective learning. To be engaged in this kind of conversation as a child was priceless. He sparked our curiosity and got us thinking about how far we could push ourselves mentally. More importantly and impressively, he managed to get millions of people (my dad and I included) excited about learning more about the human mind and memory. All Mr Trudeau did was package up a bunch of memory techniques (that have been around for a very long time). Let’s face it, there was nothing new or particularly special about the information contained in Mega Memory. Perhaps a better question to ask is, did the program help me to improve my memory? You bet. But now, as an adult, I can’t help but feel a little cynical/skeptical as I revisit the Mega Memory program knowing that Mr Trudeau has recently released a book called ‘The Weight Loss Cure’.ĭid I ever get a photographic memory from doing Mega Memory as a child? I’m afraid not. He’d seen Mr Trudeau on late night TV wow an audience with his ‘photographic memory’. My dad purchased this expensive package for me when I was 10 years old.
“You can improve your memory by 500% OR MORE!” and “Switch on your mega memory!”: these are some of the quirky phrases written on Kevin Trudeau’s Mega Memory program package.
