On average, people squander forty days annually compensating for things they've forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of them. But after a year of memory training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. In Moonwalking with Einstein, he 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.
