Harvard-trained neuroscientist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds while others can last a lifetime. You'll see how memory is profoundly impacted by meaning, emotion, sleep, stress, and context. Once you understand the language of memory, you can both vastly improve your ability to remember and feel less rattled when you inevitably forget.
