On average, people squander forty days annually trying to remember things they've forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we too often forget: In every way, we are the sum of our memories. In "Moonwalking with Einstein", Foer draws on cutting-edge research, the cultural history of memory and the techniques of 'mental athletes' to transform our understanding of human remembering. He learns the ancient methods used by Cicero and Medieval scholars. He meets amnesiacs, neuroscientists and savants - including a man who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. In doing so, he reveals the hidden impact of memory on our lives, and shows how we can all dramatically improve our memories. At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's book is a quest to resurrect the gift we all possess, but that too often slips our minds.

评分长期一直喜欢一个意境:记忆如同一条河流,你躺在河底,看记忆的碎片如同片片黄叶飘过,有感知,却无从抓住。 看了《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》,这种意境变得格外平淡和乏味。因为,记忆应当是一座包罗万有的无涯宫殿,可自由往复穿行,无比开阔。 作者对记忆在现代社会的重要意...
