In this show, Lian is joined again by memory expert Anthony Metivier to explore the transformative art of memory techniques, with a focus on the ancient yet powerful memory palace method.

Anthony is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorising foreign language vocabulary, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun.

Lian and Anthony discuss the science and soul of memorisation, reflecting on the way our brains create associations and store information. Together, they examine the challenges of modern learning and the unique tools available to overcome them.

Anthony shares practical guidance on crafting memory palaces, reveals the importance of interleaving topics for richer understanding, and delves into advanced techniques like the shadow method. The conversation also sheds light on misconceptions about aphantasia, celebrates the magic of visualisation, and highlights how intentional practice can unlock the profound connection between memory and consciousness.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Memory Palaces as a Tool for Transformation: By associating information with familiar spaces, the memory palace method not only enhances recall but also creates a dynamic and engaging way to learn. The process highlights the interplay between visualisation, intention, and the richness of mental imagery.

• The Power of Context and Interleaving: Context-dependent memory strengthens retention, and interleaving different topics improves understanding. Experimenting with these techniques can make learning more efficient and enjoyable, particularly when paired with the trust that comes from allowing new connections to emerge naturally.

• Personal Growth through Memory Work: Beyond practical applications, memory techniques offer a path to transformation. From childhood associations to advanced practices like the shadow technique, the process of mastering memory is as much about personal evolution as it is about information retention.
