A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Eighteen year old Christiane Stenger has been world youth champion in memory training three times. She says she is proof "you don't have to be a genius to memorize a hundred digit number - you can train your brain!"

Christiane is, by her own admission, "totally lazy". As a child, she regularly received bad scores for schoolwork and always felt sick at school, but no doctor could find the cause of the illness. A psychologist she was sent to for counselling radically suggested she be allowed to skip classes if she showed a marked improvement in school grades. This motivated her to start training and developing her memory. She did so well that, at 12, she became the youngest person ever to be awarded the title of Grandmaster in memory training. And at 16, she was Germany's youngest A-Level graduate (School-leavers are usually 18-19 years old).

Today, at age 18, she is a university student in Munich studying politics. She appears regularly in the media, and is a strong advocate of the need to make our education systems more stimulating. She gives talks at schools on how to make learning enjoyable.
