FINANCIAL TIMESYou dont have to be a victim to your past and the way you used to think . . . A wonderful book. DR RANGAN CHATTERJEEA radically new and engaging explanation of how and why we remember. MATTHEW WALKERLife-changing. SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE---Memory is far more than an archive of the past. This groundbreaking book by a pioneering Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology, Dr Charan Ranganath, reveals the powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives.Combining fascinating tales of the peculiarities of memory as well as cutting-edge science, Dr Ranganath shows the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and guide our futures. Memory shapes how we experience the world, and it does that in often invisible, active and sometimes destructive ways. Dr Ranganath argues that we can use this knowledge to make better use of our flawed memories, whether in daily tasks like finding our keys or dealing with memory loss as we age. Whats more, when we work with the brains ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can shed our biases, learn faster and heal after grief or trauma. This is a vital, accessible guide to understanding memorys quirks - and its power.
