When I went to get my mail from my secretary, she was in tears.

For years, her biggest dream was to be the lead singer of a band. She went to yet another audition, and this time — she was chosen.

“So, why the tears?” I asked.

“Because I only know popular songs... but they’ve given me only 2 weeks to learn 40 of their original songs. And I have to sing them without notes.”

I told her: “I just finished reading the personal diary of a famous researcher, and I can show you how to do that — without massive repetition, without memory palaces, without flashcards, and without memorization.”

“Interested?” she asked. “Is that what you use for learning a new language, too?”
