評分不知讀瞭後可以多背些詩嗎
評分: B842.3/F654
評分#benvxp54#非常有趣的一本書,記憶力的提高僅僅代錶瞭你記得更多的東西,不代錶你在這方麵的技能有所提高瞭,也不能改變你的創造力。一萬小時理論就能成為該領域的專傢也隻是在你確定自己在這個領域有纔能的前提下。創造力跟纔能一樣,隻能喚醒,無法激發。

Joshua Foer was born in Washington, DC in 1982 and lives in New Haven, CT with his wife Dinah. His writing has appeared in National Geographic, Esquire, Slate, Outside, the New York Times, and other publications. He is the co-founder of the Atlas Obscura, an online guide to the world’s wonders and curiosities. He is also the co-founder of the architectural design competition, Sukkah City. Moonwalking with Einstein is his first book.
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.
在书的尾声, Joshua批判性的审视了记忆法的功利作用:记忆法的短见是把记忆本身当做目的,比如参加American Memory Champion,3分钟背出150位无关联的数字。这样的记忆法是没有任何实用性的,尽管在比赛中得了冠军,在生活中还是会习惯性的忘记重要的事情。不过,把眼光放长远...
評分在2011年,美国口碑最好的一本书是乔舒亚·福尔的《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》。福尔本人的经历颇为传奇,出身标准书香门第的他(其父亲乃是咨询公司的总裁,母亲乃是智库的总裁,两位哥哥一人是《新共和》杂志的编辑,一人是知名小说家)本人继承了家族的良好基因,从耶鲁大学毕业...
評分假期刚开始时,看到TED上有乔舒亚·福尔的题为“人人都能学会的记忆术”的演讲,正巧那段时间正在看的英剧《神探夏洛克》中的“记忆宫殿”也勾起了我的兴趣,于是决定要翻一翻跟记忆术相关的书籍。 那名TED演讲者乔舒亚·福尔将自己从最初因采访记忆力竞赛而对这一领域感兴趣开...
