well isnt his point that thats one of the powerful related effects of training memory and remembering stuff? -why memorys important. why would a strong intro make the rest weak? Im pretty happy that he didnt go on and on about how to live a happy life (like many others do). he gave you the idea - or reminded you of it - you got all the tools you need to use it or take it further as applies to Your life.

Subjective Passage of Memories
I stumbled upon Joshua Foer's talk and was fascinated by his introduction to his topic that seemed, at least at first, to be focused on how to increase the quality of one's life by increasing the subjective perception of the passage of time. But instead of expanding on this thread of thought, he took a very disappointing turn off of this theme! That is, he went completely off the track to dwell on memory athleticism! Interesting, but monumentally weak compared to his initial thoughts.
