About this listen
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, Joshua Foer's part-memoir, part-guide on mastering your memory. Read by Mike Chamberlain. On average, people squander forty days annually trying to remember things they’ve forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we too often forget: In every way, we are the sum of our memories. In Moonwalking with Einstein Foer draws on cutting-edge research, the cultural history of memory and the techniques of 'mental atheletes' to transform our understanding of human remembering. He learns the ancient methods used by Cicero and Medieval scholars.
He meets amnesiacs, neuroscientists and savants - including a man who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. In doing so, he reveals the hidden impact of memory on our lives, and shows how we can all dramatically improve our memories. At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's book is a quest to resurrect the gift we all possess, but that too often slips our minds.

Moonwalked once and wrote the journey..
Overall, An interesting journey of an ordinary man doing extraordinary feat and remaining ordinary in the process. History on memory technics & brain masters stories are beautifully written & keeps you interested the whole time. Well researched book for understanding of how memory works but not for developing it. Memory is just another skill that can be enhanced by practice and time. The orator has good sense of reading.

Believe in yourself
It really gives a hope to those who considered themselves as having bad memory ( including me ). May be these techniques can not be used directly in every field of life but still after using them we get a sense of confidence, which is so important to keep up the pace. I lost my continuity sometimes and sometimes felt like things are just repeating but it was okay. Overall reading this book will be beneficial for students, for entrepreneurs, for competitions and for many mores. I enjoyed the book . Thank you so much Joshua Foer.

Very well written and a fascinating story
Its a real story and a fascinating one. We are not as limited psychologically as we presume. Humans can train to do anything remarkable (anything is not anything anything).

A story for your memory skills.
Making me realize, something so trivial as memory skill is not merely a skill today.

Great book
Fully convinced me to say the very least read about and try some of the memory techniques.
Also a key takeaway on why we should have a rich set of memory even in this digital age.

Unnecessary glimpse of memory world
This book provides a lot of information about human brain, memory and mnemonics. Be this serves no purpose, personally you won't benefit from reading it. It's written in journalistic style of reporting.
