The Truth About How To Master the Memory Palace Technique 

For more on mastering your memory, check out this intimate study of my Memory Palace habits: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NyUsLTPHbTk.html

I finished your book on audible. I love it. I’m using it to master the memory techniques. Currently I can memorize a deck of cards in about 15-20 mins, and about 100 numbers in the same amount of time. I appreciate the content you create. Thank you.

I always find something useful in your videos. One of day's gold nuggets is the "Law of Action". That phrase instantly struck a chord with me and I am making it my own now. Goes nicely with the "DOC" that I also got from one of your videos 😀🙏

Hey Anthony, I just discovered you on youtube about a week ago. Awesome stuff. Hint, before I had typed in "memory"on youtube and not much came up but about a week ago I had the bright idea of typing in 'mneumonic' which gave much more interesting results. Been tumbling down the memory rabbit hole since then, listening and being inspired by many of your videos, as well as discovering other people, like Lynne Kelly and Brady Adams, etc. years ago (maybe 1998) I read Harry Lorrayne's 'complete guide to memory mastery' which is a great book and I highly recommend. I learned and practiced the numbers and cards, over the years. (mainly if I was walking somewhere then to keep my mind entertained I would go through the pegs.) Also when I had 2 months without an internet device, while staying at a hostel, in the evening to keep my brain active I would memorise at least one deck of cards. (using a story of associations between the pegs). I didn't time these but I guess around 3 minutes when I was in practice. In terms of location though I knew about the method of Loci, and do have one fairly long standing route of 100 locations which I have found useful for loading things into memory. The problem is because I was always using the same memory palace, things tend to become over written, so things don't really stick long term. Anyway long and short of it I have now started building quite a few new memory palaces, with the specific intention of storing only one thing there. (at least until that thing is really mastered). So far I've used my old college where I did A-levels to learn the periodic table. (I have the names more or less down, and have started associating the numbers and symbols.). General knowledge is not something that's ever been particularly expansive with me, because I tend to have rather narrow interests. (maths chess and machine learning). So the idea of actually having like a library store of knowledge is really appealing, and also I find the process both enjoyable and mind expanding. Thanks for all the great vids, Richard

Saw your Tedx talk about silencing the mind. That led me here. I suspect I may build in the air some of these palaces of which you speak. I am hopeful. I say your name a few times, Anthony Metivier.

The visuals of this video were awesome!!

Appreciate the info

I subscribed immediately when i recognized you from that ted talk about sanskrit and mind calmness when random thoughts are kept away. I have been wanting to become a memory champion or athlete . I found out about this almost a year ago maybe even longer. I have not yet made any progress my memory is still bad so i know that i cant wish to be a memory athlete i need hard work but i also need to know the correct way to train in order to avoid burn out and be consistent

Thank you

Sending you gratitude from a Daoist monastery near Seattle! 💙☯️🌲 I’d love a walkthrough of your heart-sutra room. I’ve got lots of fun spaces for the traditional Chinese texts and chanting practices. It’s fun to see how other people keep track of tones, meaning, and characters.

The palace must serve understanding, for it is no panacea.

Evening Anthony, I've listened to hours of material and your techniques have helped me pass examinations by remembering principles/theories which I thank you... Yet my personal challenge is 100 recipes verbatim including cooking process and ingredients (my current career) Yet what techniques do I use???...you mentioned my #26 memory palaces, yet for: French Onion Soup recipe...15 Ingredients, 10 critical steps in cooking process what for do I use?... I wonder if any memory master ever came across chefs or entrepreneurs that knew their recipes cold like all of them....

धन्यवाद् गुरुजी 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🚩

Where do I begin. I know your philosophy on life and I admire what you’ve done. I’m at an age where people give on their dreams and I don’t plan on being another. I’ve finally figured out what I want to do and it’ll take more education. Something totally different from my degree I earned years ago. I would love to efficient in my studies when I go back to school. So, where to I start my path to mastery?

Awesome

Thanks!

Many great truths here …… I won’t mention them all, ….. Anthony did this already. But I cannot keep silent about this last one ……. Tell others about what you’ve learned ! Teach them ! Even if you’re not great (yet) at it yourself….you may answer your own questions listening to theirs. As for me …. I cannot keep silent about memory palace techniques. I even got my psych interested ! And I told him this helps my brain a great deal, even after a real brain crash some ten years ago. The light in his eyes made me happy. Another golden one …. Things that wire together, fire together! Thanks Anthony, for the fire and glow in your eyes. It makes every word you say worthwhile. And when I put them to the test, every word proves to be true. Always grateful for having bumped into your channel. Patricia, Antwerp Belgium 👍🙏

How would you apply memorizing branching in a memory palace. For example, if I am learning a chess opening and at the fifth move there are three possible moves my opponent could play, and I have to react according to each move separately. So how would I actually go about learning the each variation without increasing my workload dramatically

Per the opening gambit one palace per letter would you adapt this count if my goal is long-term retention of chess openings and chess endgame positions?

I am not confident that I can learn your techniques. I work in a corporate world and require many concepts to remember and this is very important for me to grow in my career. Do you think I can really crack this and learn. I really need some step by step guidance. I find you to be a very good trainer. Your support will help me to change the quality of my life is what I believe as I see a conviction in your videos.

What is the best way to make associated imagery of difficult concepts or vocabulary words ?? Like making it absurd , bigger, smaller, slower, is there any thing else that we can do , KAVE COGS IS GOLDEN acronym but any other thing ??

Hi sir

Hi, How to use memory techniques to memorize the whole dictionary. Bcoz i want to learn maximum words in limited time. Please reply.

What time do you publish your videos? 'Cause I'm italian and for me it's at 1.30A.M.😂

Sir can you show me how to memorize ten textbooks? Please

How would you go about learning an entire book of about 1000pages

But seriously does it count if I share something new I learnd but tell them I learned it from RU-vid and I'm honest about it.

3:00 faith without works is meaningless, in the words of one of the hardest esoteric Jesuit book ever

Is it time to pick up the dusty 10year old french dictionary?
