"Memorizing has gotten a bad rap as a mindless way of holding onto facts just long enough to pass the next exam. But it's not memorization that's evil; it's the tradition of boring rote learning that he believes has corrupted Western education. What we have been doing over the last century is defining memory incorrectly, understanding it incompletely, applying it inappropriately, and condemning it because it doesn’t work and isn’t enjoyable,” (Tony Buzan, a co-founder of London’s Mind Body Spirit Festival as well as the Mind Sports Olympiad, and World Brain Day.)
Ever wish you had a sharper memory? Over the years, I’ve dived into more than a dozen books that promise tips and tricks to boost memory. Some are pretty formulaic, while others offer slightly useful advice that can be tough to absorb. The one I keep returning to is Moonwalking with Einstein, first published in 2011. This book, inspired by writer Joshua Foer’s journey into the world of memory competitions, reveals the secrets of “memory champions” through engaging stories, making it an enjoyable read. It unfolds like an investigative journalist’s tale, offering a firsthand glimpse into a world you’ve probably only heard of. Whether you're eager to enhance your memory or just in search of an easy, non-fiction beach read, this book provides an unforgettable perspective.
And what better way to savour a good read than with a cup of coffee in the Colour Changing Astronaut Mug? This novelty coffee mug adds a touch of fun to your reading experience and makes a perfect for anyone who loves unique gifts. It's not just a mug—it's a conversation starter when someone spots the earth's surface. They'll be like, Wow, this is cool. I need to buy some of these for my Christmas gifts!
A lot of us have memories of the first man walking on the moon—if not the actual event, then memories of watching it on TV years later.
