Moonwalking with Einstein

The holy grail has been found

What did you love best about Moonwalking with Einstein?

A very well written book. Extremely useful and fascinating topic in an easy-to-digest format. I couldn't recommend more. I actually started applying the techniques I learned from this book in my medical studies and honestly feel like I've made enormous progress.

Interesting, informative stuff that happened.

Would you try another book from Joshua Foer and/or Mike Chamberlain?

This blog style book sprinkled with some science and facts is good pop intelligentia waffle and can be helpful to fill in the gaps of studying something like memory learning but I am not sure Joshua Foer has another book like this in him. Not sure if I would read any other book by him.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Mike Chamberlain?

Mike Chamberlain is easy to listen to but far from the best and I would not write home to mother about his style. Business like, pedestrian, american is the best way to describe his narration. His English accents are bad. Still he gave it a go and nothing stood out so bad to make you drop your iPod and run away with your ears bleeding. He's okay.

Do you think Moonwalking with Einstein needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Perhaps Joshua should take the next step and learn a new skill for the brain like decision making, analitical thinking or learning a language in record time. Something to test the mechanics rather than just top up the grey matter. Would be interesting to see his take on exploring more about what the brain is capable.

Any additional comments?

I learned much from this book. I enjoyed it as light intelligentia entertainment. It will not make you a genius but clear up some of your self improvement wish list or at least help you remember it.

i Hope that is clearing some things up.

A good book.

A good book have already recommended to my friends and family.Will be able to corelate time and memories now :)

completely engaging and gripping tale!

read this as had recently become obsessed with learning memory techniques and this book was on the experts "must read" list. A wonderful and gripping tale regardless of whether you are interested in mnemonics or not! highly recommend

Worth every second of listening.

This book has changed the way in which I view memory. My mindfulness begins today...

The sharpening of one's memory

Fascinating and informative! Every scholar should be made aware of the positive impact of memorizing.

Must read for High school students

This book is must read for all high school students.This book helps lists out various memory techniques which would be very helpful in school exams.

Disappointment

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It's clear that the author has spent considerable time researching the history of techniques around memory and mentions countless aspects. But I'm now at hour 6 and all I've heard was history... One brief intro to the memory palace technique and explanations of mnemonics. I've even started listening to it on 1.5x speed... hope the final hours of the book brings actual useable content.

Did Moonwalking with Einstein inspire you to do anything?

Yes, to read other books on the subject of memory

Misleading title and category, interesting content

This is not really a book of self-help, nor on memory training. This is a story of the author's first-hand experience, which is well done.
