Dr. Small begins this book with some basic information about memory such as what is memory and how it changes with age.  He includes a chart questionnaire where we can rate our current memory. 

Dr. Small points out several important facts in memorization:  We should "LOOK" - actively observe what you want to learn.  He gives an excellent example of someone driving you to a location.  As a passenger, we don't pay much attention to street signs, etc.  He states that we should mentally stay in the driver's seat. 

Another point he calls "SNAP" - Create a mental snapshot of memories.  He suggests that when you look at what your mate wore to work this morning - red blouse, black slacks, etc. you are already developing this mental snapshot of what you want to remember. 

The third point is "CONNECT" - Link your mental snapshots together.

Throughout the book, Dr. Small lists several types of exercises for you to do consistent with each section he writes about.   

The cover of the book states that The Memory Bible is "an innovative strategy for keeping your brain young".  It will help you remember names and faces, memorize numbers, and improve your memory. 

Dr. Small has written a detained-oriented book.  It is easy to understand.  This book will help people find ways to improve their memory.  The exercises are an excellent way to begin.  Do yourself a favor and read this book.  You will be glad you did!
