This course teaches a powerful memory system that allows for the memorization of large amounts of information with little reliance on rote. The major system has been used to successfully set world memory records, to memorize over 100,000 digits of pi, and to remember dozens of playing cards in very short periods.


An exploration of the nature of thought, memory, and pedagogy will be made, and how we can apply the established insights to the maximum effect. The course teaches a unique concept called the "SMEAR" principle, which allows for the enhancement of memorized information. We will begin with simple and foundational memory systems and then finally explore the major system and how to use it to remember information.


With this course, you will learn how to remember lists, academic information, numbers, dates, etc. The examples are vivid, clear, and simple to follow.


This course is suitable for students, professionals, and anyone seeking to improve cognitive performance, study efficiency, or general memory skills. With step-by-step guidance, exercises, and real-world examples, learners will gain tools not only to remember more but to think more creatively and strategically, building a mental filing system that transforms how they approach learning and information retention for life.
