Moonwalking With Einstein not only educates you about the history of memory, and how its standing has declined over centuries, but also gives you actionable techniques to extend and improve your own.

When I read How We Learn a little over a week ago, Moonwalking With Einstein popped up at the end of it. The title sounded interesting, so here we are.

It’s safe to say that Joshua Foer has lots of memory credentials – he won the 2006 USA Memory Championship and set a new record for memorizing a deck of 52 cards: 1 minute and 40 seconds.

If you want to live a memorable life, you have to be the kind of person who remembers to remember - Joshua Foer

When he’s not memorizing stuff, he works as a freelance writer, writing for The New York Times or The Washington Post, for example. He also has a TED talk.

Overview: An average person squanders 40 days annually compensating for things they've forgotten. The author of “Moonwalking with Einstein” Joshua Foer was once like that. After months of training his memory, however, he was able to reach the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. Even more important, Foer discovered a simple, yet vital truth: In every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories. “Moonwalking with Einstein” draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of remembering, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to change our understanding of human memory. In this summary, you will learn the time-proven techniques of memory improvement, and understand that having a great memory is all about perseverance and creativity.
