Moonwalking with Einstein

The title does not capture the actual content. I've held off for quite a while reading this book, assuming that it would only discuss techniques to remember better with the epitome being the “memory palace”. I was pleasantly surprised that the narrative is really more of a review of how we as humans have perceived our own memory over the course of time, intertwined with the author's own journey in becoming the US national memory champion. Reads mostly as a novel.
