内容简介

对普通人来说，要回想起那些已忘却的事情，每年要花费40天的时间。乔舒亚·福尔也是这样一名普通人。在“与爱因斯坦一起漫步月球”这副夸张甚至怪诞图像的启迪下，这个普通人经过一年的记忆力训练后，参加了美国记忆力锦标赛并一举夺冠。

在世界顶级记忆力大师的指导下，他学习了一些古代的记忆术。西塞罗曾经利用这些记忆术记忆他的演讲内容，中世纪的学者们也利用过它们来记忆书籍。福尔发现，通过这些已被人类遗忘的记忆术，可以在很大程度上提高自己的记忆力。

福尔着魔似地混迹于一群古怪的属于亚文化群体的记忆力选手中间。他学会了那种能够唤起想象力和决断力的记忆术，同时他的经历也证明了记忆并不意味着死记硬背。PAO记忆系统可以把数字转化为富有想象力但却非常夸张怪异的图像，记忆宫殿可以把记忆存储在各个房间里。通过学习这样的记忆术，福尔向世人证明，记忆力比赛并不仅仅是对人类记忆力的考试，更代表了一种坚持不懈和努力创新的精神。

在“与爱因斯坦一起漫步月球”这个夸张甚至怪诞图像的启迪下，这个普通人经过一年的记忆力训练后，参加了美国记忆力锦标赛并一举夺冠。

The blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memory An instant bestseller that is poised to become a classic, Moonwalking with Einstein recounts Joshua Foer's yearlong quest to improve his memory under the tutelage of top "mental athletes." He draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of remembering, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human memory. From the United States Memory Championship to deep within the author's own mind, this is an electrifying work of journalism that reminds us that, in every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.
