To this end Furst develops a system that leverages the mind's ability to associate and categorise. I might be inclined to quibble with the title - and I will - but I find nothing wrong whatsoever with the overarching goal, which is to help readers improve their capacity to remember stuff. At least one of these branches still operates at a place called Bowden Hall College, in the United Kingdom, and retains the publishing rights of Furst's courses.Ī forerunner of the self-help books that infest our shops, Stop Forgetting is nonetheless in many respects a fascinating and sympathetic book. We know that he used to lecture law in Czechoslovakia before the second world war and that he is credited as founder and director School of the Memory and Concentration, an international organisation devoted to the improvement of memory 'with some twenty branches in the U.S.A., Great Britain and many other English-speaking countries' as of 1949, the date of publication of the book.

Bruno Furst, although it is quite possible that he was a doctor of law, rather than medicine or psychology - what little information one can find about him is rather sketchy on that point. Think Mega Memory, but without the insufferable infomercials and the tapes.

It's a book about memory, one of the first complete modern memory systems in fact. This book fell into my lap at the Wellington Downtown Community Ministry book last year.
