The blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memoryAn instant bestseller that is poised to 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.

Come siete messi a memoria? Vi siete scordati dove avete posato le chiavi dell’auto? E il numero di telefono di quel parente lontano? E dite la verità: siete usciti per fare la spesa e avete dimenticato proprio di comprare il caffè! Tranquilli. Dopo aver letto il libro… continuerete a dimenticare le...
In this fascinating little book (why a 320 page book seems 'little' is another story) Mr. Foer – brother to the recently famous author of a book apparently involving both immediate proximity and copious volume of noise – examines the story behind the 'athletes' of competitive memory championships. I...
Fascinating book about the methods used to train for memory championships. The guy covered it for a publication one year and won it the next!
I was actually kind of dreading reading this, though it seems like my kind of thing. I guess I was expecting something dry and self-helpy. Yeah, that's right, I said 'self-helpy'.Foer has a good voice and his experience is interesting enough. What makes this an interesting read for me, though, is hi...
