About Tansel
I’m a 4-time Australian Memory Champion who believes we’re all capable of far more than we realise.After being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and nearly losing my life, I discovered memory techniques from my hospital bed. That experience changed everything. It taught me that memory is not a gift, it is a skill that can be developed.Determined to find out what was truly possible, I memorised two Yellow Pages phone books in just 24 days, competed at the World Memory Championships, broke Australian records, and defeated multiple world champions. Using the same techniques, I completed two postgraduate degrees, a Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and went on to write the international bestselling books The Yellow Elephant and How to Learn Almost Anything in 48 Hours.For more than 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of people around the world improve their memory, learning, focus, and mental performance. My work has been featured on major television networks, TEDx stages, schools, conferences, and organisations across multiple countries. I’ve also served as a Celebrity Ambassador for Crohn’s & Colitis Australia and the AFL.Today, my mission is to help people unlock their potential through mental mastery. Whether it’s learning faster, remembering more, thinking more clearly, speaking with confidence, or performing at a higher level, I believe we’re all capable of far more than we realise.
