Dominic O'Brien 1957 -

Eight Times World Memory Champion, Current World Senior Memory Champion, UK Open and Pan European Champion.

Bestselling author of 14 books, corporate trainer and speaker Dominic O’Brien once memorised 54 decks of cards after just a single sighting of each card.

He teaches business professionals, public figures and even entire audiences to significantly improve their memory and cognitive ability in their personal and professional lives.

In 1996 a film crew followed Dominic across America as he proved to the camera how it was possible to beat the casinos at Blackjack. He is now barred from all casinos in the UK and is “blacklisted” in Las Vegas.

In 1994, Dominic was named Brain of the Year by the Brain Trust of Great Britain, and the Grand Master of Memory award was presented to him by Prince Philippe of Liechtenstein.

Dominic co-founded the World Schools Memory Championships in 2008 with Raymond Keene OBE and inventor of Mind Mapping, Tony Buzan.

His Best-Seller, “How to Develop A Brilliant Memory – Week by Week” reached Number One on Amazon UK.

“O’Brien is probably the top memory expert in the world today and has written many books on the subject.”

Derren Brown, British Illusionist, Mentalist and Author

    This course is incredible, but for the most part, relatively simple! Early in the course, Mr. O'Brien expresses confusion at why these techniques aren't included in every elementary school curriculum, and I agree wholeheartedly. I take long walks with my trusty MP3 player, and this course has accompanied me. I'm sure I looked like an idiot laughing aloud as I walked. Remember when you first learned to ride a bike, without training wheels, and you got that agape, wide-eyed look, and that incredulous "HOLY COW, I'M DOING IT" laugh? That was me, when I memorized my first 10 item list. Now, I can do a 100 item list with little problem. And it's ME! I mean... I'm just a regular dude.

    My memory has always been laughable. This course changed that IN A DAY. Dominic's speech is conversational. He tells stories, often humorous, which accompany his very well laid-out instructions. For long commutes, or walks, or workouts, this item is invaluable; a lot more constructive than music droning on. I haven't written down a shopping list in... wow... a year? I just keep it all in my head, and it's EASY. The key attribute you must have is a good imagination, and the rest takes care of itself. He teaches you how to calculate the day of the week of ANY date from 1700 to 2099. That kind of thing does involve some pretty dedicated work, but once you do it, it just makes you feel great! Accomplished! And it impresses the hell out of people. I memorized the value of pi to 200 decimal places. Why? Shrug. Because I could. Because it's COOL!

    I tought my kids Dominic's "list-learning" method as soon as I learned of it. My teenage son, as most teenagers are, was fairly nonplussed. But my then- 5 year-old daughter STILL remembers the shopping list I taught her at least a year ago.

    I own this thing already, and I'm buying it AGAIN, just so I have all my discs in one place. Kind of like a mint-edition copy. I frankly think for the impact its had on my life, it's worth buying AT LEAST twice. Emphatically recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD Set
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2006
    Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
    I have nearly all of Dominic O'Brien's books and I find this CD set very detailed and a good educational resource for improving memory.

    I think all Dominic's methods are quite easy to learn but his most effective method is the Dominic system which he uses to remember numbers.

    Basically he takes sets of numbers 00-99 and converts them to initials of a persons name. Example: 11 would be AA, which would be Andre Agassi. Anyone that knows anything about memory would have to agree its easier to remember a face and a persons name that just a plain number. Each person then has an action so they can be linked to the next person, this can then be put into a journey method.

    This system definately works and i was so suprised when it did.

    After listening to the CD's Dominic goes on to this system, I decided to stop the CD's until I had learnt this system of 100 names. Like i said, if you really want to learn Dominic's system you have to put in the time and effort. And that is exactly what i have been doing the past few months. I purchased some flash cards and wrote down each number on the back, then the name on the other side and have been learning them for the past few months. I now have 60 of the 100 memorized completely, but i have been taking my time reviewing and go over them as often as possible to put them into long term memory. Those names i kept forgetting, i changed. If you haven't heard of the dominic system you will understand what i mean when you get there.

    If you have any hesitations about this system, don't. It works. It just takes the effort and time. It's the same with anything your learning, even a new language, you have to put in the effort and submerse yourself in it in order for it to be effective.

    Great Product, well worth it, see you at the next memory championship..lol

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Your Memory
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2006
    Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
    The techniques Dominic explains at first seem childish, but I am telling you that his system works right from the start. In one of the first exercises he asks you to say back the ten words he says. I think I was able to remember four in order but couldn't remember the rest. After I used his first memory technique I not only remembered all ten words but remember them to this day and can't get them out of my head! I actually just spent about 10 minutes or less remembering all fifty states and their capitals. This stuff really works people and it's all so simple; you can use it right away as much as you want and remember whatever you want. Of course it still takes some amount of work, but the point is you will remember without having to study the same material again; all you have to do is recall it at certain time intervals over a period of time and you'll be able to recall it for good. A plus is that he narrarates and has a nice, friendly quality to his voice. I'm starting film editing school in a matter of weeks and know that this is going to help make remembering all of that material a breeze. I've never tried other memory techniques before so I have nothing to compare this to, but like I said it works like a charm so there's not need for me to look else where. If you are like me and want a much better memory, I highly reccomend this product.

    Good tips on how to remember names, places, etc. I think the CD set could have been condensed, as it takes a rather long time to get through the series. If you stop the cd, it is hard to really find where you were at, at the tracks do not really start and stop with a certain topic. Good information though, and highly recommeded if you want to improve your memory.

    I am only on DISC 3, and I have been taught now how to remember huge lists and names. I put this on my way to work every morning. I can't wait to finish the next 3 discs and see where I am at. I realize now, I didn't have a memory problem, I just didn't know how to memorize. I can only imagine how much further I would be in life if I listened to this in high school! I highly recommend as I believe this can be a life changer!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tolle Methoden, um sich Dinge schneller einzuprägen - ich bin begeistert!
    Reviewed in Germany on March 28, 2009
    Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase
    Dieses Hörbuch ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Der Autor stellt seine Techniken vor, sich Namen, Zahlen, Ereignisse, Fakten usw. schnell und bleibend zu merken.

    Dabei geht er nach dem Prinzip "ALI" vor: Association, Location, Imagination.

    In kleinen Lernportionen (die durch Musik voneinander getrennt sind) führt O'Brien den Hörer schrittweise in seine Techniken ein. Kleine Übungen veranschaulichen sofort, dass die Technik sofortigen Erfolg bringt.

    Allerdings muss man auch Training und Arbeit hineinstecken, um mit O'Briens Methoden Erfolg zu haben. Das lohnt sich aber bestimmt.

    Ich habe das Hörbuch erst einmal durchgehört, um mir einen Überblick zu verschaffen. Besonders die Methoden von CD1 und CD2 werde ich mir intensiv antrainieren. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die Ergebnisse. Erfolg garantiert!!!

    Das Hörbuch ist englisch, da mein Englisch nicht perfekt ist, musste ich ab und zu mal nach einem Wort nachschlagen, z.B. kannte ich "hive" (Bienenstock) nicht. Man sollte ganz gut Englisch können, um die Übungen mitmachen zu können.

    Tipp: Das Hörbuch nicht 'nebenbei' hören, sondern voll konzentriert zuhören und Dominic o'Briens Übungen gleich mitmachen. Macht Spaß und bringt schon erste Erfolge!

    Dies ist eines der wertvollsten Hörbücher, die ich bisher gehört habe. Weil der Inhalt extrem hilfreich ist und dem Hörer ein Universum an Möglichkeiten des Lernens eröffnet.

    Extrem empfehlenswert!!!
