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.
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.
非常有趣的關於記憶的故事和原理
評分十年前翻過利瑪竇的記憶宮殿那本書,覺得神乎其神,怎麼也想象不齣這種記憶術是怎麼work的,現在終於明白瞭,最近背單詞時會有意識的運用這種方法,但感覺用起來很睏難,真正掌握大概需要很長時間。
評分: B842.3/F654
評分非常有趣的關於記憶的故事和原理
評分還挺刺激的。可記憶宮殿短缺的阿宅該怎麼做……
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...
評分关于记忆这件事,曾经是我最为恼火和头疼的问题。凡是从学生时代走多来的人,有几个没有被记忆这件事烦恼过呢? 一个个的单词,一段段的要点,一篇篇的长文…… 想要一字不差完整的背下来咋就这么难呢?为啥有的人就看啥记住啥,甚至连圆周率那毫无规律可言的数字都能够一背成...

評分可读性强,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...
