Amazon reviews:

"This is one of those rare books that is not only a joy to read, but also immensely helpful. It can help all of us with something that is at once troublesome and worrisome: our memory. It does this with ease, not teaching us some grueling rote memory technique, but one that is easy, natural and intuitive. Yet Moonwalking with Einstein turns out to not be exclusively a how-to book on memory. "

"I bought this book after a recommendation, it's not my usual genre but i'm so glad I decided to give it a go. My memory is wobbly at best and I really struggle to retain information, I thought it may be interesting to read a bit more into this and well this book has taught me a lot. The author doesn't just talk about how memory 'works' as such but also goes into the history of it and ties in many other topics to help us understand various concepts. It follows his journey as he learns more about the world of memory champions and is not just informative but also very funny."

"There are enough tips to help one develop the techniques to memory improvement. Josh has also carefully researched the history of human memory and details the science involved."

"Life seems to speed up as we get older because life gets less memorable as we get older."
