Joshua Foer

An utterly engrossing story of the frustrations and ecstasies involved in transforming a simple idea into a hugely successful business. Anyone who has ever been curious about the inner-workings of a start-up will find this intimate account both refreshing and--need it be said?--honest. Joshua Foer, author of MOONWALKING WITH EINSTEIN “Seth and Barry have translated the wild, often lonely entrepreneural adventure into a delightfully candid and accessible read for anyone interested in starting or growing a business. Like their beautiful drinks, this book is refreshingly honest.” Gary Hirshberg, Co-founder and Chairman, Stonyfield Farm Seth Goldman and Barry Nalebuff began Honest Tea fifteen years ago with little more than a tea leaf of an idea and a passion to offer organic, freshly brewed, lightly sweetened bottled tea. Today Honest Tea is a rapidly expanding national brand sold in more than 100,0000 grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores and drugstores across the country. The brand has flourished as American consumers move toward healthier and greener lifestyles. Seth Goldman is the president and TeaEO of Honest Tea, which he cofounded with Barry Nalebuff in 1997. He is an internationally recognized spokesman for mission-driven enterprise and sustainability. He appears regularly on MSNBC, CNBC, and Fox. He blogs for Treehugger.com, Inc.com, The Huffington Post, and the New York Times.

7PM TUESDAY, MARCH 6 Meet Joshua Foer: MOONWALKING WITH EINSTEIN Joshua Foer Credit: Emil Salman United States Memory Champion Joshua Foer visits with his New York Times bestselling MOONWALKING WITH EINSTEIN: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything.

Hailed as "a resounding tribute to the muscularity of the mind" by The Washington Post and called "freshly enthusiastic" by The New York Times, Foer's journey from a forgetful journalist to the U.S. Memory Champion has been selected as one of the Best Books of 2011 by Discover Magazine, The Washington Post, Salon.com, and others. Foer draws on cutting-edge research, a cultural history of memory, and tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human remembering. Under the tutelage of top "mental athletes," he learned ancient techniques once employed by Cicero to memorize his speeches, and by Medieval scholars to memorize entire books. Using methods that have been largely forgotten, Foer says that we can all learn to dramatically improve our memories. During his training, he also takes his inquiry across the country and deep into his own mind — meeting a man with one of the most severe case of amnesia on record, a savant who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books, and a high school history teacher using thousands-of-years-old memory techniques to give his students an edge on the state exams.
