I heard this author in an entertaining NPR interview. The book is more so: part journalism, part personal adventure in the world of mental athletes, and not a how-to-improve-your-memory guide. Although, you may pick up a few tricks and the urge to expand your brain. Using humor and historical anecdote, Foerr points out, “what we remember defines who we are.”
