Einstein Walks on the Moon. The Science and Art of Memory

On average, each of us spends about 40 days a year trying to recall certain events, facts, or names. Just imagine how much higher your productivity would be if you could improve your memory like Joshua Foer did. In just one year, he transformed from a person who always forgot his girlfriend's birthday into the winner of the USA Memory Championship, and soon afterwards, into the author of a worldwide bestseller dedicated to memory.
The book recounts the 12 months the author spent trying to understand his memory - its internal mechanisms, natural defense mechanisms, hidden potential - and train it. Essentially, it is a story about the place of memory in the life of all humanity and each of us. How has the function of memory changed over millennia? What is the role of memory techniques in the past and present? Can anyone develop their memory to perfection? And is it necessary?

You will learn how to train your memory and how memorization techniques can be useful in everyday life.
