a really cool book is
MIND PERFORMANCE HACKS by Ron Hale Evans (not to be confused with his other book MIND HACKS) part of the OReily hack series.
this book covers memory techniques such as numbers, journeys, major system, dominic sysytem, hotel dominic, couplets etc etc
but the book isnt just about memory, it has tons of other sections too such as
information processing - be quicket at handling info - i.e. how to write faster, note ideas better
creativity - how to create/find ideas (this isnt a black art)
math - mental arithmetic hacks etc
decision making - game theory, dominant strategies etc
mental fitness - warming up your brain, overclock your brain, snap into attention.
The best thing about the book is each topic has references to other books which explore the topic in more detail. Its one of those books i think if you were to put it on your coffee table it would get a lot of attention from friends despite it sounding nerdy.
