Memory Culture: The Science of Observing, Remembering and Recalling

In the building of character and individuality, the memory plays an important part, for upon the strength of the impressions received, and the firmness with which they are retained, depends the fibre of character and individuality. Our experiences are indeed the stepping stones to greater attainments, and at the same time our guides and protectors from danger. New Thought proponents at the turn of the new era sought to use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves. One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this book, to show the reader how to cultivate the memory in such a way as to improve one's entire life. Atkinson's method is not geared to mere recollection of facts: it encourages a holistically "correct seeing, thinking, and remembering." With secrets hidden for almost a century, this book will teach you to train the eye as well as the ear to improve your ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much more.
