Description
Forgetting is a natural part of being human. Our brains aren't designed to remember every detail, and that's okay. In fact, it's normal to forget names, plans, or days from time to time. However, for some of us, these lapses in memory can be a cause for concern, especially if we're over forty. Neuroscientist and novelist Lisa Genova explores how memories are made and retrieved in her book Remember. She explains the difference between normal forgetting, where we might forget where we parked our car, and forgetting due to conditions like Alzheimer's. By understanding how our memories work, we can create a better relationship with our memory and reduce the fear that often comes with it. By reading Remember, you'll gain insight into the science of memory and the art of forgetting. You'll learn how to approach your own memories with a new perspective, and how to make the most of the memories that matter most.
