Our mind is our only weapon." ayn rand, THE FOUNTAINHEAD Foreword Some time ago, I had the privilege of having a book published by Frederick Fell, Inc. The title of the book was, How to Develop a Super-Power Memory. Since its publi- cation, I am happy to say that it has become one of the largest sellers in its particular field. This proved something I'd always known—that people from all walks of life, in every field of endeavor, are in- terested in improving themselves and organizing their minds. I definitely contend that a trained memory is one of the most important factors in mental organization. How- ever, there are, of course, many other factors involved. It is mostly with these other factors that this book is concerned, although the subject of memory has not been ignored. Foreword viii There is no doubt in my mind that the person with a well-trained and organized mind—with a Thinking-Ma- chine Mind as I prefer to call it—is the happy and success- ful person. Let me prove this to you, right from the start. I want you to try a simple experiment with me now. I want to prove that you can actually become a Mental Wizard in one evening with these techniques of organizing the pow- ers of your mind. In other words, that just by reading a few pages of this book, and mastering one simple trick, you can amaze your family and friends that very same night. Here's how. Simply turn to page 144, and read through to page 147. These few pages will give you the basic secret of all mem- ory association. Practice this technique just once, and then call in your family and watch their faces as you put it to work. In that one moment, you learn, dramatically and un- forgettably that mind power is a trick. And you can learn that trick far faster and easier than you would have ever believed before you read this book. Yes—you can be a better and happier person than you are! Yes—you can get much more out of that brain of yours. There's no doubt of it. Just make up your mind that this is true and you will be able to use the brain power you have to much better advantage. Samuel Johnson wrote: "The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing any- thing but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the griefs which he purposes to re- move."
