The blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memory
"Highly entertaining." —Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker
"Funny, curious, erudite, and full of useful details about ancient techniques of training memory." —The Boston Globe
An instant bestseller that has now 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.

Easy read, interesting story, teaches you a bunch of practical memory tips, and has some interesting discourse about the role memory plays in consciousness and the human experience.

This book is a good read for beginners, but keep in mind that the methods used in the book are largely outdated by today's standards. You will have to read something more updated afterwards if you are seriously about learning it.
Bought this based on that fact alone; would have passed if it was just a self-teaching textbook.
Ha. I bought this deal and enjoyed it, so returned here to upvote it. I'm about 40% done according to Kindle. Nicely written, a bit lacking cohesive story line but it oddly works.
The lack of an appendix at the end with resources sucks. Overall, probably 4/5 stars for me.
