Foer's unlikely journey from chronically forgetful science journalist to U.S. Memory Champion frames a revelatory exploration of the vast, hidden impact of memory on every aspect of our lives.

On average, people squander forty days annually compensating for things they've forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of memory training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. Even more important, Foer found a vital truth we too often forget: In every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.

Moonwalking with Einstein draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of memory, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human remembering. Under the tutelage of top "mental athletes," he learns ancient techniques once employed by Cicero to memorize his speeches and by Medieval scholars to memorize entire books. Using methods that have been largely forgotten, Foer discovers that we can all dramatically improve our memories.

Immersing himself obsessively in a quirky subculture of competitive memorizers, Foer learns to apply techniques that call on imagination as much as determination-showing that memorization can be anything but rote. From the PAO system, which converts numbers into lurid images, to the memory palace, in which memories are stored in the rooms of imaginary structures, Foer's experience shows that the World Memory Championships are less a test of memory than of perseverance and creativity.

Foer takes his inquiry well beyond the arena of mental athletes-across the country and deep into his own mind. In San Diego, he meets an affable old man with one of the most severe case of amnesia on record, where he learns that memory is at once more elusive and more reliable than we might think. In Salt Lake City, he swaps secrets with a savant who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. At a high school in the South Bronx, he finds a history teacher using twenty- five-hundred-year-old memory techniques to give his students an edge in the state Regents exam.

At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's bid to resurrect the forgotten art of remembering becomes an urgent quest. Moonwalking with Einstein brings Joshua Foer to the apex of the U.S. Memory Championship and readers to a profound appreciation of a gift we all possess but that too often slips our minds.

读后感

把现代人和原始人区分开的是记忆。这里所提到的记忆并不是现代人大脑中存储的记忆,因为在刚出生时,现代的孩子和3万年前的孩子一样,大脑都是一张白纸。这里的记忆指的是存储在外界的信息,即存储在书籍、照片、博物馆和数字媒体中的信息。很久以前,记忆是人类文化的基石。3...

看港剧《读心神探》的时候,有一集讲述某位记忆力高超的女子利用记忆宫殿进行谋杀的故事。什么是记忆宫殿?记忆术是什么?利玛窦是谁?怀着强烈的好奇心,我买了有关记忆术的两本书,其中一本就是《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》。 这本书的作者是乔舒亚•福尔,是2006年美国记忆力...

买《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》这本书已经忘记了是谁的推荐了,已经记不住是什么时候加入到我的GTD阅读清单的,在去北京出差时带上了这本书,前4章介绍了许多故事和记忆的原理,快速翻到第5章开始阅读,随着作者一起开始记忆的练习,相当神奇,书中的15件风马牛不相及的物品,我竟然...

可读性强,可操作性低:( 主要介绍第一,超级记忆这事儿靠谱,能成;第二,遥远的希腊文明时期就有一群人这么干,漫漫历史的发展中还有很多人这么干,所以真靠谱,真能成。第三,要练成超级记忆,作者大致是这么干的(几段话的样子),作者这么干的时候脑子里浮想联翩了这么些...

1 记忆宫殿是真是存在的 2 世界脑力大赛所需要的“记忆能力”是可以通过科学的方法快速训练的,比如在1到n分钟内记住一副扑克牌的花色点数顺序之类的比拼,任何人都能学会得技巧,比如我初次自学了1个小时之后就在半小时内记住了50个随机排列得数字,而且到第二天都没有忘掉(...

前一段时间看到他的TED,觉得好奇就看了,本来指望能学点什么,来拯救我日益崩坏的记忆力,可惜他的方法好像并不适合常规使用。当然,作为装逼技巧还是特别炫目的。

评分

思考不在于记住什么,而在于选择忘记什么。(我等凡人跟视觉记忆宫殿什么的是没什么缘分了吧……)

Joshua Foer做为一个记者,通过一年训练能够获得全美记忆冠军,这本身说明人的记忆力是有很大的提升的,只是绝大部分人都没意识到,以及没得到足够的训练。你的记忆力怎么样,你记住了些什么东西,你怎么记的等造就了你之所以为你,简而言之,你的本质就是你的记忆。

作者自己的亲身经历,通过训练拿到了记忆大师比赛的冠军。其实记忆一些小无聊东西的窍门到处可以找到,如果被中学地理历史政治折磨过的人恐怕都尝试过,也只是需要有意识的训练和应用而已,并不能把我们变得更聪明啊。但是当我们不需要记忆很多东西的时候就慢慢的开始淡忘这些技能了嘛。不过训练大脑跟训练体能有很多共同之处,所以保持身体健康的同时也要经常训练大脑才对啊。
