How to remember what you forgot? Is there a way to instruct your brain to remember those things that are buried under hundreds of layers of memories? Yes there is, and you have it since you were born.

How many times did you find yourself in the situation of wanting to remember something, but the more you tried, the less results you achieved? It is like you focus hard to remember a place, a name, but the answer never comes to your head.
It is mainly our fault, as generally after a couple of minutes we give up and say: "This is useless, I am not going to remember this". We wrongly think that the answer we need will come to our head immediately, because we do not know how to command our brain.
We often hear how much our intelligence potential is underutilized. The main obstacle here is that we often don’t know how to operate our own bio-computer. Our brain. It’s like we had a powerful switchboard available to us but we were to operate it with our eyes covered. Not easy.But once you learn how you can trigger one of those invisible switches, it becomes a child’s play to do things that earlier may have appeared impossible to achieve.
One of these invisible switches is Google. Not the one you use to search for stuff on your computer though, but an Internal Google, as Robin Good baptized it. This Internal Google can help you get the right information no matter how old it is or how difficult it might be to find what you want to remember.
Curious? Want to know how to leverage the power of your brain beyond its limits? Then read how Robin Good explains his idea of the Internal Google and how you can turn this magical tool to your advantage.
At the end of this article you can also find a short video (with full text transcription) of a speech Robin gave at Girl Geek Dinner 6 earlier in 2009, explaining how the Internal Google helped him choose "Robin Good" as his pen name.
Here all the details:
