? Armchair Reviews
"Thank You, Brain..." is a reader-friendly overview of what human memory is, how it works, and how one might get it to work better. "Memory is a skill that can be learned, and that's the whole point of this book," Dr. Bill tells us, and - in a very straightforward fashion - his book succeeds at this most aptly. Most appreciated are Dr. Bill's "Key Ideas" overviews, positioned at the close of each chapter. These teaching points reinforce a learning concept that he reiterates often: if you understand the idea, don't worry yourself with needless memorization. If a given key idea is still foggy, don't memorize it; go back and re-read the material he has provided. What you need to remember are the things that don't require understanding (names, numbers, lists, and so on).

? Donna Coomer, Between the Lines Reviews
The book offers a lot of tips for changing the way we learn and recall. But Thank You Brain is more than a how-to book. When Klemm points out the short attention spans of today's kids, he opens a discussion about the need to change the way our teachers teach their students. ? This is a fascinating read and one that gives the reader the knowledge to sharpen his own memory and recall.
