"Moonwalking with Einstein isn't just a splendid overview of an essential aspect of our humanity - our memory; it is also a witty and engaging account of how Foer went from being a guy with an average memory to winning the U.S. Memory Championship." - Dan Ariely, author and professor of behavioral economics at Duke University. "On average, people squander forty days annually compensating for things they've forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of memory training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. Even more important, Foer found a vital truth we too often forget: 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 memory, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human remembering. Under the tutelage of top "mental athletes," Foer learns ancient techniques once employed by Cicero to memorize his speeches and by medieval scholars to memorize entire books. Using methods that have been largely forgotten, he discovers that we can all dramatically improve our memories. Immersing himself obsessively in a quirky subculture of compepitive memorizers, Foer learns to apply techniques that call on imagination as much as determination - showing that memorization can be anything but rote. From the PAO system, which converts numbers into lurid images, to the memory palace, in which memories are stored in the rooms of imaginary structures, Foer's experience shows that the memory championships are less a test of memory than of perseverance and creativity. Foer takes his inquiry well beyond the arena of mental athletes - across the country and deep into his own mind. In San Diego, he meets an affable old man with one of the most severe cases of amnesia on record and learns that memory is at once more elusive and more reliable that we might think. In Salt Lake City, he swaps secrets with a savant who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. At a high school in South Bronx, he finds a history teacher using twenty-five-hundred-year-old memory techniques to give his students an edge in the state Regents exam. Moonwalking with Einstein brings Joshua Foer to the apex of the U.S. Memory Championship and readers to a profound appreciation of a gift we all possess but that too often slips our minds." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Signed by Author(s).
