How to Memorize Anything - Aditi Singhal and Sudhir Singhal

session inspired me to further explore human memory and techniques to improve it. I
started reading many books and attended some more seminars about it. I was
determined to improve my memory and started using the techniques practically in my
daily routine work.
Once I realized the difference it made in my life, I started sharing this knowledge
with a few students with an aim to help them memorize their course content. One day
when I was teaching 9 th class students how to memorize a chemistry periodic table,
my son Devansh, who was just 5-years-old at that time, showed keenness to
participate in the session as well. To my utter surprise, he could memorize 10
elements from the periodic table in just 5 minutes. He insisted on learning more and
within a week he had achieved the accomplishment for being the youngest Indian to
memorize the complete periodic table and his name was registered in the India
Book of Records. It was unbelievable but true. I felt proud every time I saw articles
on Devansh’s achievements in leading newspapers and magazines.
Motivated by his performance, I started teaching these techniques to people from
all walks of life, especially students and teachers. The response was very positive
and very soon, many of my students also made numerous National and World
Records and the India Book of Records awarded me with the title of ‘Best Memory
Trainer’.
I also went on to make two National Records for ‘fastest calculation’ and
‘memorizing binary numbers’ awarded by the Limca Book of Records.
Using these wonderful memory techniques, we broke another record in the
Guinness World Records for ‘conducting the largest Math class’, helping 2,312
students memorize tables till 99.
The journey from a homemaker to a World Record holder seems like a dream
come true. It also proves that anybody who is interested in improving his or her
memory can do so.
Seeing the overwhelming response from readers of my first book How to Become
a Human Calculator?—how it is helping them get rid of Maths phobia, regenerating
their interest in the subject, and developing self-confidence about their own
calculation skills—my husband, Sudhir Singhal, who himself is a trainer and very
passionate about these techniques, motivated me to share these wonderful, lifechanging
techniques with people all over the world by writing another book on techniques
to improve your memory.
Our vision is to spread this awareness among people around the globe that we all
have the same brain potential to memorize anything and everything, provided we
know how to use it.
This book will serve as an instruction manual to help you understand your brain
