Moonwalking with Einstein

The Art and Science of Remembering Everything

De: Joshua Foer

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

The bestselling, blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memory

“Highly entertaining.” —Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker

“Funny, curious, erudite, and full of useful details about ancient techniques of training memory.” —The Boston Globe

An instant bestseller that has now become a classic, Moonwalking with Einstein recounts Joshua Foer's yearlong quest to improve his memory under the tutelage of top "mental athletes." He draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of remembering, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human memory. From the United States Memory Championship to deep within the author's own mind, this is an electrifying work of journalism that reminds us that, in every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.

not what I expected

Definitely a good book and interesting story, but I was expecting to learn a bit more about techniques to improve everyday useful memory.

Educational. Inspiring. Funny.

Great narrator. Amazing and hilarious story. I appreciate the author's honesty about the practical applications of such great memorization techniques.

just like the Game, except this is for memory.

have you ever read The Game? this is very similar, but instead of dating, this deals with memory. this is a very good book and i highly recommend.

Fun narrative while learning the skills of memory

I appreciated the insights of how we remember, and how memories make for a full life. Learning memory's importance can help us prioritize our choices and enrich relationships. Plus, the stories and characters of people with extraordinary memory and the world of competitive memory championships were fun.

Great story about the world of mnemonics & memory

This is a great book if you are interested in learning more about mnemonics and the challenge of preparing for a memory championship. Foer did a nice job bringing in stories of memory champions, history of memory and the like. Well written and worth a listen. - DanO
