* How Daniel memorized all 50 of the provinces of Spain using a simple Memory Palace.
* How to “think” visually even if you can’t “see” in your imagination.

* Why you should stop worrying about the sex and violence elements of memory skills and start loving the results of memorizing and recalling just about anything you want.

* How memory skills relate to the fear of losing your time, money and sanity and how to ease this unconscious fear using Memory Palaces.

* The number one reason why “poor learners” fail to improve and what to do in order to overcome any negative thinking you may have about your abilities to pick up new knowledge and skills.
* … and much, much more.
