Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It

Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It

William Walker Atkinson


When we think of memory we often think of it as an innate mental ability – either you have a good memory or you don’t. The increasing public awareness of the effects of Alzheimer ’s disease has given us an appreciation of the devastating consequences of memory loss and the absurd and bizarre behavior that can result. As Emerson wrote: “Memory is a primary and fundamental faculty, without which none other can work: the cement, the bitumen, the matrix in which the other faculties are embedded. Without it all life and thought were an unrelated succession.” We increasingly realize that memory has a vital physical dimension, that it is dynamic, and that the cultivation of memory is “the cultivation and development of our entire mental being-the development of our selves.” Memory: How to Develop, Train, and Use It (1919) is a comprehensive and integrated system to develop and train the mind to improve not only recollection but the entire thought process and consciousness. It does so with clear explanations of the nature and process of memory accompanied by techniques and exercises designed to help condition it. It is one of the first of its kind and has helped many thousands for the nearly 100 years the book has been in print.

The Recordings

These recordings were made using the author’s original published work, which is in the public domain. The readings were recorded by members of Librivox.org, which has generously made the recordings available to the public domain. While Librivox condones the sale and distribution of these recordings, it is not associated with the management or operations of MP3 Audiobook Classics. The audio files have been lightly edited and have been engineered using professional audio tools for maximum sonic quality. We spend considerable time and effort to ensure the recordings are free of noise, equalized for maximum listener pleasure, and that tracks are leveled and normalized to provide a consistent listening experience.
