Remember Every Name Every Time: Corporate America's Memory Master Reveals His Secrets

This is an exceptionally good book for learning effective techniques to remember names. You'll never say "I have a terrible memory for names!" again. I've been using Benjamin Levy's ideas now for about three weeks and am really having fun connecting with people at work, at parties, dinners and weddings, etc. in ways I've never done before. The tone of the book is just right. With very funny, good examples, Mr. Levy encourages you to use your imagination in ways that make meeting people memorable and enjoyable. His style is engagingly self-deprecating, very approachable and readable.

"This is the best book on how to remember names ever written. I know because I've read just about every one of them. It's clear, concise, innovative and presents the information in a highly readable, entertaining, easy-to-understand and easy-to-learn style. If you have only one volume about memory on your bookshelf, make it 'Remember Every Name Every Time,' by Benjamin Levy. It's a sure winner for your business career, wherever you are on the corporate ladder." - Harvey Mackay, NY Times #1 best-selling author of Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

I'm a chronic name forgetter, so I've read other books about memory hoping for help. This is the first one I've found that offers advice that's clear and effective (I've already had some luck with it). Maybe it works so well because the book's a great motivator: the opening chapters demonstrate how the ability to remember names has had a big impact on the author's career, and they show how highly prized the ability is by leaders in corporate America. I wish the photos had been bigger, but they work pretty well as practice material. In the long run, I'll bet "Remember Every Name, Every Time" turns out to be more valuable than the last 10 business books I've read because it's not about theory, it's about a practical skill that can result in real benefits.

For many years I've studied memory and related subjects. I have even demonstrated memory by memorising a magazne. I have over 50 books on memory in my library and none equal this book for teaching how to remember names. It does not necessarily break new ground but it really teaches you how to remember names in an interesting and easy way. I think you shoud buy the book. You should know that I have no finacial interest in this book.Bill Tadlock

Do not buy this book unless you sell, interact with large numbers of people, or want to advance yourself through interpersonal interaction. In other words, if you breath air you need this book! Immediately after reading it I built better relationships with people that I normally would take for granted. For example, last week I made the decision that I would remember the names of all the waiters and managers at my favorite restaurants. I did this with ease using the techniques in this book. It is amazing how helpful restaurant staff will be in getting you a reservation in a "full" restaurant when you adress them by their first name and ask them how their family is (ofcourse I took the time to learn their family member names). Most people do not take the time to learn the names of restaurant staff, gas station attendants, doormen, bus drivers and everyone else they interact with on a daily basis. What most people do not know is these are the people who can make their lives easier. Benjamin Levy does an excellent job communicating techniques that will last a lifetime!
