The Black Swan, Second Edition: The Impact of the Highly Improbable: With a new section: "On Robustness and Fragility"

Story
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Story
As former tutor and adviser to Emperor Nero, philosopher and statesman Seneca was acutely aware of how short life can be - his own life was cut short when the emperor ordered him to commit suicide (for alleged involvement in a conspiracy). And Seneca proved true to his words - his lifelong avowal to Stoicism enabled him to conduct himself with dignity to the end. During his rich and busy life, Seneca wrote a series of essays that have advised and enriched the lives of generations down to the present day.

Story
In one way or another, we all carry trauma. It can manifest as anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, over-eating, under-eating, addiction, depression, confusion, people-pleasing, under-earning, low mood, negative thinking, social anxiety, anger, brain fog and more. Traumas, big or 'little', leave us trapped in cycles of dysfunctional behaviours, negative thoughts and difficult feelings. Yet many people are unaware they're stuck in old reactions and patterns that stem from their past traumas.

Publisher's Summary
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, Joshua Foer's part-memoir, part-guide on mastering your memory. Read by Mike Chamberlain. On average, people squander forty days annually trying to remember things they’ve forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we too often forget: In every way, we are the sum of our memories. In Moonwalking with Einstein Foer draws on cutting-edge research, the cultural history of memory and the techniques of 'mental atheletes' to transform our understanding of human remembering. He learns the ancient methods used by Cicero and Medieval scholars.
He meets amnesiacs, neuroscientists and savants - including a man who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. In doing so, he reveals the hidden impact of memory on our lives, and shows how we can all dramatically improve our memories. At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's book is a quest to resurrect the gift we all possess, but that too often slips our minds.

Enjoyable listen
learned some nice history of memory, more focused on competing in a memory championship and those techniques as opposed to how to better remember information/learnings.

Interesting book about people and memory
The book had some really interesting concepts about people in general that he met along the way on his journey of exploring the mind and memory.
I did occasionally find my mind wandering to other things when I was listening and I had to go back and rewind a few times.
It’s not a book you have on in the background, you have to actively listen to it or you miss key themes.

fantastic
Extremely informative book. Shares with you the technique to the memory palace and 2 weeks after hearing that shopping list, i still can imagine every stop along my palace. but like all techniques they only work and develop if you keep practicing them until you can use then quickly on almost all day to day activities.

great way to make you fall in love with memory
This book follows the journey of a journalist through his training to be a memory champion. it is a really easy book to get though. It has a wide range stories, well thought out background information and research. This is not a strict how to book. Though you could probably use parts of it like that.

This is easy listening and thoroughly enjoyable
I purchased Moonwalking with Einstein expecting a 50/50 mix of a biography and 'how to', but it was much more about the journey Josh went through, while barely scratching the surface of how to train your memory.
Josh explained the framework on how to better your memory, and provided a lot of helpful leads to follow, but this is I'm no way a self help book.
Moonwalking with Einstein was engaging from start to finish, from Josh's first encounter with the competitive memory circuit to meeting the 'talented tenth', but also very easy to listen to.
I've listened to this 3 times in the last month and each time I loved it. I would recommend this to anyone.
