Thanks for an inspiring podcast. Any resources for techniques on memory training? Does the moonwalking with Einstein book also have methods? thanks!

actually to get to the root cause of memory loss and all bad traits in people can all be summed up to 1 thing and that is SIN. to have good memory or a good pious healthy lifestyle is to thrive against SIN. So if you think about it memorising your book of faith and living by it can give good memory, long lifespan as a reward as well as other stuff.
