Best quote from Unlock Your Memory: Ancient Secrets Revealed

The issue isn't that we have poor memories—it's that we don't know how to harness what we already have. Your brain is wired to remember things that are in motion and emotionally engaging, so when you create outrageous mental movies, you're essentially tricking your brain into thinking it actually experienced something memorable.
