Remember it! by Nelson Dellis is a practical guide designed to help readers radically improve their cognitive abilities and master memory techniques. On an episode of People I (Mostly) Admire, host Steve Levitt spoke with the author and memory champion to explore methods for sharpening mental acuity.

Toward the conclusion of the conversation, Levitt enthusiastically directed his audience toward the publication, noting that anyone looking for reliable tips on remembering faces and retaining complex information can find all the necessary tools within its pages. The discussion emphasized that memory is not merely an innate trait but a skill that can be systematically trained and developed through dedicated practice and proven mnemonic strategies. By breaking down intimidating mental exercises into approachable, actionable steps, the book empowers everyday learners to unlock hidden cognitive potential, boost information retention, and transform the way they process and store daily experiences.
