This is a book you will want to revisit often. ... I recommend this book for the student, the
professional, and the senior citizen. This is a book that everyone wanting to look “smart,” feel
“smart,” and be “smart” can read and enjoy...The book presents technical information ... and
then rephrases it in easy to understand terms for the lay reader. Key ideas at the end of each
chapter summarize the salient points. The author has interpreted and reviewed, in plain
language, the detailed tests and results of years of scientific experiments.

age group … Because of the insight Bill provides, this book is a confidence builder; a must
read for those interested in improving their memory, becoming more effective at what they
do and feeling empowered.

... an aid for anyone wanting to improve their ability to learn. It is rather unusual in being
much more than the average ‘airport’ bestseller which comprises merely memory tips for the
lay reader hoping to improve themselves with very little outlay. ... suitable for teachers of all
age groups who wish to provide some guidance to their students on how to learn and when
and how to memorize. Not only does the author provide a practical guide for teachers but
also a valuable resource for any reader’s own learning ... the book is sometimes gripping and
mostly accessible. It is full of simple examples that we can all relate to and some fascinating
research findings are presented. The basis for the memory tricks that we see on television are
explained ... goes beyond mere tricks and gimmicks to probe the scientific basis for good
memory. I think it succeeds and is suitable for anyone who really wants to improve their
memory by understand more clearly how it works. In an era where rapid change is the norm
and societies have an aging demographic profile, the challenge to us all is to continue to learn.
This book reassures us that it is possible even for those among us who are aging.

Each chapter’s theme in this scholarly work is supported through charts, graphs, research,
lists of tips and citations, but not to worry, Dr. Klemm writes in laymen’s terms and his
conversational tone speaks directly to readers. Highly recommended.

Something for everyone who wants to increase their brain power, especially remembering ...

limited by what we can remember, then Klemm's book is the ultimate in self-help titles. ...

from the field, sharing old and new ideas from other sources to give a well-rounded summary
of what can be done to improve memory. ... well organized, providing a detailed index to help

"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).

We are treated to a delightfully thorough, behind the scenes analysis, of how we create
memories …This is science at it’s most fun. We all can’t be Ph.D.’s, but with this little book
we can astonish the grandkids, one up our college buddies pulling all-nighters, and best of
all remember the name of that hunky guy or gorgeous gal we met at that party last week
and now run into at the grocery store.

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.

Using the latest research
and his 40 years of experience as a neuroscientist, Dr. Bill Klemm in his book …
offers a wealth of information for anyone with an interest in the subject of
memory … Each chapter's theme in this scholarly work is supported through
charts, graphs, research, lists of tips and citations, but not to worry, Dr.
Klemm writes in laymen’s terms and his conversational tone speaks directly to
readers. The book is complemented by his website <www.ThankYouBrain.com> where
the author offers a free memory advice column and blog ("How to Remember") on
research with practical implications. The "Memory Medic" (a.k.a. Dr. Bill) also
conducts workshops designed to "teach principles of good memory practices" at
schools or businesses … Highly recommended.
