I don't know how and why Yutube gave me this video into recommended to watch section. But hey man, your videos are great! They are smooth, the picture is very nice, I can clearly see the value of it. For me reading books was always an amazing activity especially when I was young I didn't have a cell phone or a computer and books were everything. Now, in 2019 I read like 4 books in a year but started 8 and it was very difficult to focus and actually finish the book. I watched a few more videos of yours and I hope to read 19 to 23 books in a year 2020 and hope this goal will become a reality. Thank you so much Nelson, All the best to you.
Love your videos! As for what books most inspired me and/or impacted my own life, that's a bit difficult to narrow down. I've been an avid reader since childhood. But, I'll give it a go. 'Jonathon Livingston Seagull'by Richard Bach, 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman' by Richard P. Feynman, 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra, 'A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe' by Michael S. Schneider, 'Musashi' by Eiji Yoshikawa. Those are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head.
This came in perfect timing, I was just thinking about what memory book I should get next (Remember It was great!). On another note, I find your content to be the easiest to digest when it comes to memory techniques, and the way you can just be yourself on camera makes your channel both entertaining and very informative. I recently learned Morse Code and how to memorize colors in a deck of cards from you, thank you for your content and please keep it coming!
The Game was amazing. It is like a novel but you know it happened in real life. I always want to know whether something actually happened, that is why I enjoy autobiographies. Also it gave me the feeling that I belonged in the group, which was great. I will read it again!
I can see the memory journey with you is getting even more interesting now that I am tapping into your interest in reading. As soon as I finish reading, "Moonwalking with Einstein", I will read the four books you recommend in this video.
Loved the video! I listened to Quantum Memory and The Game because of your recommendation and wow, I really enjoyed both of them. Quantum Memory is just such a good book, I can memorize a deck of cards no problem and while Im not very fast I can still do something that i though i would never be able to do! Thanks a ton for the recommendations! I would love a second video.
The Game... Haha I was brought that book by my sister in law when I was single. Never finished it, don't know where it is but now feel like I should have taken more notice. BTW brilliant book list 😄
Great presentation. Interesting mix of books. My two are Managing the Software Process by Watts Humphrey. Great read on process and producing products, whether software or not. The other is The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge. If you want to understand how systems work, it's a groundbreaking read.

You should create a video on the effects of aging and if you have noticed any discernable differences in your cognitive capacity as you have aged. It would be interesting information coming from a memory athlete and someone that is so in-tune with their own cognition.
Nelson, Just wanted to say thanks for your awesome videos that you have posted on RUclips they are very useful for me in my line of work. I just brought your book Remember IT!, haven't read it yet. I have a question I'm currently studying for my Security + exam and need it as a requirement for work. I have taken this exam twice an almost passed but not dice. Here's the question if you were studing for and exam like this how would you go about tackling this to ensure a passing score? Plesase see link to the textbook below. Once again thanks for createing these videos, it has really helped me in my everday life. Darril Gibson Security +
Hello, sir, I really enjoyed your tutorials in which you go over different techniques about number memorization. Could you, please, give some tips about memorizing the 2x2 multiplication table, that is, for instance, 17x39. Thanks in advance.
Any decent masters degree program should touch upon Gödel, Escher, Bach, and with it the quick read Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, all in an effort to elevate your levels of conscious.
Hey, This book has nothing to do with memory training. It is "Dune" from Frank Herbert. It showed me the power of religion and why it is such a powerful (and sometimes dangerous) game. The books from Richard Wiseman are very good as well. The game from Neil Strauss sounds interesting, thanks. I will give it a try. Thanks for the video. My memory training stucked for a while and I should give it a reboot.
Hay Nelson, I have a question. I was wondering how you read a book during your every day life; I just finished watching your speed reading video, and I was wondering if its not a good idea to speed read all books. Do you think you should take more time reading some books for different reasons? or do you just speed read everything? Appreciate your time.
Hey Jacob, yes definitely. I don't think you should speed read all things. Probably most things I wouldn't, either because they are more dense topics or they are books I want to savor a little more. I think there is a time and place to read something quickly. In my case, this was a book I wanted to read but didn't really care all too much about it. So boom, I just went for it and I actually enjoyed it that way.
Thank you Nelson for this great video! I work in IT and we use a list of around 50 projects and 400 tasks which are constantly changing. We order this list based on priority, so on top are always most important projects and within these projects are ordered tasks. As I said their order changes weekly. What is more, additional projects and new tasks are added constantly. Each project and task has its own detailed descriptions. Do you think memory palace technique is suitable for such a situation? If not what other technique would you recommend? If you think memory palace is still perfect for such situation how would you adapt it for it to work in my case? Appreciate any ideas and suggestions 🙏🏼
The 4 that changed my life the most? They aren't memory books as much as they are paradigm shifting books and made me change the way I thought about things.1. Who Moved My Cheese2. Woman Thou Art Loosed3. The Secret4. Sink Reflections
Remember It was a game changer for me. I also read The Game too and would probably be a virgin if I did not lol. Hope all is well with you and the family Nelson!
Read "The Greatest Lie on Earth Proof That our world is Not a Moving Globe" Edward Hendrie You still have a chance and feasible to go to "Outer Space" if you learn what I mean. Your mountaineer skills will come in handy of your next journey once you learn what I am talking about. This will be your number one life changer book.

Thank you!
Could you please give the link
wow. i just discovered you. well, you were extant prior to my stumbling, but either way, i'm glad you exist. really good stuff.
I can see the memory journey with you is getting even more interesting now that I am tapping into your interest in reading. As soon as I finish reading, "Moonwalking with Einstein", I will read the four books you recommend in this video.
My list:
1. 1984, George Orwell;
2. Leonardo da Vinci, Walter Isaacson;
3. Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise, Anders Ericsson.
Renan Finamore Peak is an awesome
Book!
@@NelsonDellisSure it is! Next one I'll read is yours!
Because of your interest in climbing/adventure you might want to check out the biography of Ranulph Fiennes: Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know.
Came here through Chris Ramsay. Enjoying every bit of your channel.
Would like to know about your book shelf.😃
I’ll be doing a video on that soon!

Very, very good use of drone footage in the beginning there...

You should read the monographs by Ben Cardall I think you would enjoy it. It’s one of my favorites
Checking it out right now. Looks amazing. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Nelson! I think you should interview Jack Cai. He has a really creative brain and a cracking sense of humour.
Yay I love reading books.
Hello Nelson, I Just purchased your book! Looking forward To going through it. Cheers

I just stumbled across your channel, but you'd probably do good with book reviews considering your skillset 😁😁 Great video.
Please make a video just on memory books! Cheers!
Yes! Already in my plans! I have a big collection :)
@@NelsonDellis Did you make a memory book video? Haven't seen anything, maybe I just missed it?
@@patrickdufour4903 Not yet, but it's on my list of videos to make soon.

Or other means of training that you recommend for beginners?
Yes, check out www.memoryleague.com
