How good are you at remembering celebrity names?

And what about names of people you work with, children's names, pet names, street names, business names, city names…

It's true that the brain has the capacity to store thousands of names, but the big question is do you remember them when you need them? Can you count on your memory to be right on track and right on time?

Psychologists tell us that the things we remember well are usually stored in our mind in full color while the things we forget are in black and white, and even gray tones.

Think for a moment about the first car you ever had in your life or if you don't have a car, your family's first car.

If you remembered it immediately, you probably recalled numerous details about it – what it smelled like, your initial reaction to it, what it was like driving in it, several experiences in it, what it sounded like, what it felt like…

If you didn't recall it, the image in your mind was probably small and gray colored, as if you were looking at something off in the distance. There would be limited sensory information, too.

We remember things that we think about in a lot of detail; details that involve the senses, and the more senses you use at the time when the memory is first being created, the more memorable that item will be recalled.

Your Brain is Trainable

The sooner you know how to consciously add sensory information to any piece of information you wish to store in long-term memory, the sooner you experience benefits in every aspect of your life.

The reverse holds true. The sooner you know how your brain remembers information, the sooner you can choose to forget things you don't want to remember anymore.

The best part about all of this is that you can have total control over your memory and you learn how in Million Dollar Memory for Names & Faces.

Read what Mary Jo from Cary, IL says:

665 Names Are No Problem Anymore "I am a Music Teacher in a public elementary school. My students are in grades Kindergarten thru 6th grade, and I teach all 665 of them! Needless to say, it is very difficult to remember the names of all those students! I find myself calling a student by his brother's name, or calling a student by the name of the person who sits next to them. It's even worse when they go on to junior high, come back to visit their former teachers, and ask me, ‘Do you remember me?' and then to see if I really do remember, ‘What's my name?' I usually say something like, ‘Well, you poor thing, you don't remember your own name?' to cover the fact that I can't remember their name. Trying to associate student names with where they sit in class does not help, since teachers rearrange students about once a month.

The techniques in Dr. Donna's book are excellent to help solve this problem for myself and for many other teachers like me. I heartily recommend it to everyone!"

"Helped Me Remember Pets"

"I love this book! I've always had a lousy memory for names and faces. Now, after reading Dr. Donna's book, I can't tell you how much I've improved. I'm especially happy that when I do book signings and lectures, I can actually put names with the faces. It allows me to show more respect for the people who come to meet me and my dogs.

Given my passion for animals, I especially liked the exercises in focusing on recognizing and differentiating pets. They're such an important part of our families and yet so many people don't take the time to remember them."

On another subject, the chapters on crime prevention and safety really opened my eyes to things I didn't realize and hadn't even wanted to contemplate.

I took every safety quiz in the book and scored only fair on most of them. I'm BIG into safety for dogs, but now realize the need to reconsider my own safety. As an ex–New Yorker, this comes as a big surprise!"

I'm also thrilled to know more about scams criminals use on pet owners (and will pass the information along to my newsletter readers), and loved reading about how dogs are used to help catch criminals. Go dogs!

This book is great. It's a must read for everyone!"
