Publisher's Summary
The blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memory.
An instant best seller 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.

I really enjoyed this book
Very interesting story and it made me eager to try out memory techniques. I would have liked more details on how to practise the techniques but I realize this is outside the scope. The performance and story were great. #Audible1

Quite interesting.
If only I had known about this in HS. I also wish he had shared more of the techniques. But it definitely made you think about what you could accomplish if you put your mind to it. Cornbread

It's more than I taught
I started the book thinking that I would find tricks to improve my memory. I found them. But I also loved the way the author remembered us why memory makes us humans. Great book.

Good book
It was an intersting personal story/personal journey, coupled with lots of interesting information relative to the storyline. Also, kept light with a bit of comedy inserted here and there. Interesting and performed well start to finish.

An inspirational must read of mnemonics....
It's just as Bill Gates said, this book is an: "absolutely phenomenal story" - a definite must read for those embarking on the journey of learning about one of the world's most preciously hidden treasures: mnemonics. Not only is it an amazing introduction into such a field of study, it also leaves one to ponder about learning about just how one's own brain functions, and the sheer extent of their own skillset - and how they could manage to actually improve it. These are things that just about anyone has the ability to uncover; a crude conclusion one can jump to, from to hearing the author's perspective on such aspects of himself.
From going over the origins of some of the most prominently used mnemonic techniques, to showcasing several case studies of unique individuals with differential conditions/states of minds, each compared to one another to outline such varying magnitudes and spectrums various human brains, to the tale of how the author managed to accomplish the astounding feat of breaking the fastest time to memorize a deck of a cards for the American Memory World Championships, Joshua Foer's inspirational tale is described from his recollection of the training, experience, and research he went through from his journey diving into the prodigious realm of mnemonics.
I certainly enjoyed each and every moment I've listened to such an audiobook, and I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Memory palace
The main technique is that called memory palaces. The epilogue is good for explaining why it’s important that we still remember things in a world that has become externalized for data recall.
