À propos de cet audio
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Joshua Foer’s Moonwalking with Einstein in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. Nowadays, we are relentlessly and endlessly bombarded with new information. There’s always much to remember, yet our brains capture so little of that information. Even the stuff that’s worth remembering often makes only a short-lived impression on us before disappearing forever.
2. Education has been tainted by the boring tradition of rote learning. Schools today cram huge amounts of information into students’ heads without teaching them how to retain it. Memorization has become a mindless way of retaining information just long enough to pass the next exam.
3. One can only wonder how many ideas have gone unthought and connections unmade because of our memory’s shortcomings.
4. In ancient Greece and Rome, memory retention was considered a key element of intelligence. The Greeks and Romans believed that only through memorization could ideas truly be incorporated into one’s psyche and their values absorbed. Having a good memory made you a better and wiser person.
