Featured Comments

Read this book ~10yrs ago. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

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.
The worst thing about selling something like this is your target audience. They keep forgetting to order it.
This one is available to borrow from Libby with my local library. Cost = Free!

Well said. Exactly what I'd want to say about this book.

Yeah, great book. Interesting story of him training for a memory competition and the techniques it covers actually work. Just for kicks I memorized my credit card and library card numbers after reading this. I reeeeealy wish I had read this back when I was in school. Some of these techniques would've made memorization-based tests so much easier. It's wild that we don't teach this stuff to kids.

Wow! I was able to use my $2 delayed shipping credits to get the book. The order page says the book comes with a $2 credit towards a future Kindle book. Added audio narration, but was surprised to see the price went up $1 from prior purchases - now $8 instead of $7.

The book itself won the GoodRead's good choice for 2011 and is well ranked. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6346975-moonwalking-with-einstein?from_search=true&from_srp=true... [goodreads.com]

I read this when it first came out and was impressed. It was a fun read and the memory tricks actually worked. I memorized the first thousand decimal places of pi to see if I could. And to my surprise, I could recite it both forwards and backwards, just like he said. It was a trip. Definitely recommend.
