Moonwalking with Einstein documents the stories of a group of (ordinary?) humans who honed their normal memory capacities into world-class capabilities. One of their key techniques? Mnemonics and memory palaces, which we can all leverage to learn new information. For example, want to learn a new language? Mnemonics can save the day here.
