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.

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

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.

如果一个人要创新，他的大脑中必须事先储存一些合适的信息，他必须拥有一个储存现有思想的银行，在其中选择有利于创新的现有思想。而且，只有一种信息的库存是不够的，要有一系列、编有索引的信息库存。他需要一种方法，帮助他在正确的地方找到正确的信息。

这就是记忆术的终极功能。

怎么延长主观时间……每到年底的时候，人们都会感叹，我这一年的时光都跑哪儿去了？……怎么延长呢？……就是要多记一些东西。按照时间顺序，给我们的生活里多增添一些标志性的事件，让自己对时间的流逝更敏感一些。

"Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing the papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorablely into the next -- and disappear. That's why it's important to change routines regularly, and take vacations to exotic locales. and have as many new experiences as possible that can serve to anchor our memories. Creating new memories stretches out psychological time, and lengthens our perception of our lives." - p.77

"The general idea with most memory techniques is to change whatever boring thing is being inputted into your memory into something that is so colorful, so exciting , and so different from anything you've seen before that you can't pos...

他们创造出自己的方法，有意识地逃避“自主阶段”。他们通常能够坚持做到以下三件事情：专心于自己的方法，目标坚定，不断获得即时性的反馈。换句话说，他们强迫自己处在“认知阶段”。

埃里克森发现，逃离“自主阶段”、突破瓶颈期的最佳方法就是勤加练习失误的地方。这样练习的途径之一是，努力研究你要学习的这个领域内的专家的学习方法，然后找出他们解决问题的方法。

我绞尽脑汁，把20多年来在学校里学的东西都回忆了一遍，就是找不到任何关于中国历史的最基本知识。我分不清明朝和清朝，甚至不知道元朝皇帝忽必烈是真真实存在的一位历史人物，我参观了博物馆，希望能够获得一些中国历史和文化最粗浅的知识，但是我对这个地方知之甚少，根本没有办法理解很多东西。因为大脑里没有任何关于这个地方的基本知识，就没办法联想到其他知识，因此我就无法欣赏这里的文化。我并不是不想学习，而是没有能力学习

我们的文化其实就是一座存储在人类大脑之外的记忆大厦。
