    Hey Anthony, your videos are awesome! I've always been a bookworm, but I struggled to remember what I read until I stumbled upon your video about memorizing books. Your method really clicked with me, although I tweaked it a bit by combining memory palaces with flashcards.
    Here's what I do: I jot down key points from each chapter as I read. After finishing the book, I pick out 10 key points from each chapter to place in a memory palace. Then, I use flashcards for the remaining points.
    This hybrid approach has been a game-changer for me, making learning more enjoyable than ever. Thanks a bunch for sharing these invaluable tips!

      Fantastic and thanks so much for letting me know.
      As David Berglas put it, we all need to interpret the ancient wisdom in our own way, ideally by putting the techniques into action.
      Your solution is wonderful and wonderful that learning is more enjoyable. May it become ever more enjoyable for you still as you continue to study and practice the ancient art of memory!

    I find it very profound to realize that …of all of the things that I center my values around, and feel strongly that are true, at least one of those things is incorrect. At least one of them I will change my mind about completely in the next few decades.
    I know that many people find it stressful to think about, but I find it very freeing. We are not in charge of anything, just along for the ride, and doing our very best to believe as many, true things as possible. Whatever that means.

    • @AnthonyMetivierMMM

      "Whatever that means," indeed. The beauty is that it probably means nothing, a realization that can make the ride all the more wonderful once you're over the shock of realizing that this ancient math is pretty much inarguable.

I know that you have interviewed them individually but I bet there would be some great ideas if they were yarning together!

    Thanks for sharing this interview and to alerting me of his new edition. (Consider me alerted thusly!) I bought and read his first edition book years back, after being influenced by the Sherlock series, featuring the talents of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I might just procure myself a copy of his last edition and reread.
    Edit: I tried to pledge some pounds on the Kickstarter site, but unfortunately they don't ship to Norway. But I ordered the PDF version which at least was available. Cheers.

    On free will...
    I like Virk's "The Simulation Hypothesis" proposal that says IF we are in a Virtual Reality then it's more likely we are not nonplayer characters (NPCs) who are drones with limited responses but are more like characters in a role playing game (RPG) with freedom to make choices and grow.
    Most interesting is that inside the game are all the player Avatars and ouside the game are all the players, as conscious beings playing their respective Avatars.

    Super interesting. I had a question Anthony: have you ever covered why songs get stuck in your mind? Is that a physiological effect that can be utilized for memory?

    • @AnthonyMetivierMMM
      @AnthonyMetivierMMM  7 месяцев назад +1

      I have thought a lot about earworms, but not about how to potentially use them. Theoretically, earworms play because the material is already in memory so perhaps one thing to do is to use music you already know to create mnemonic hooks.
      But in this case, it could cause earworms, so it might be wise to only use music mnemonically that you don't mind to have winding its way through your head on its own.

      Bruno's On the Composition of Images probably has the most in-depth discussion of association and its many varieties from the historical works.
      I've streamlined it all and made it more accessible in the MMM Masterclass. Navigate to the Masterplan and by the time you've completed it from top to bottom and completed the Exercises page, you'll almost certainly have everything you need to be a memory master.

    44:26 the way you were talking about the thoughts create ur reality woo woo somehow working, that dives into 2 book authors, idk if you've ever read about. 1. neville goddard 2. joseph murphy, both of those authors talk about all of that, and provide experiments for people to do. like the neville goddard ladder technique is a good one, you should look into, it's all very fascinating.

    • @AnthonyMetivierMMM
      @AnthonyMetivierMMM  7 месяцев назад

      Yes, I’ve known and explored those approaches before and ultimately landed on the much more effective techniques I discuss in The Victorious Mind.
      What puzzles me about Goddard and the like is the lack of substantial evidence people provide to substantiate their claims about those techniques. If somebody has some, I’d love to know - but I do mean substantial evidence.

    • @Justinhulk
      @Justinhulk 7 месяцев назад +1

      well the point you said in the video about seeing exactly what you were thinking of, may be evidence, and it's weird how often that happens. or the governments spying on us haha@@AnthonyMetivierMMM

      @AnthonyMetivierMMM  7 месяцев назад

      I believe I also quickly dismissed it as the effect it most likely is. As the Buddha said, no net like delusion, no river like craving...
      I remain safe for now and am not really sure the suggestions given by Goddard relate exactly to what we were discussing here. Nor am I sure that they qualify as "experiments."
      But I appreciate the convo all the same. Have you followed any of Goddard's suggestions and experienced results of any kind?
