Joshua Foer is the author of the fascinating book Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything.
"How we perceive the world and how we act in it are products of how and what we remember. We're all just bundle of habits shaped by our memories. And to the extent that we control our lives, we do so by gradually altering those habits, which is to say the networks of our memory. No lasting joke, invention, insight, or work of art was ever produced by external memory (not yet, at-least).
Memory training is not just for the sake of performing party tricks; it's about nurturing something profoundly and essentially human."
