Moonwalking with Einstein

Moonwalking with Einstein is an instant bestseller that is poised to be a classic. The book recounts Joshua Foer's quest to train his memory and his yearlong experience at the U. S. Memory Championships under the tutelage of top mental athletes. It 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 mind, this is an electrifying work of journalism that reminds us that, in every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.
