Memory is not what we think it is - a repository of the past that we tap into as we wish. It is actually a highly transformative power, active at all times, that shapes our present in often secretive and sometimes destructive ways. Charan Ranganath teaches the principles behind memory storage and retrieval and explains how our memories are always changing. He reveals how these processes affect what we think we know about ourselves and how we make decisions. And shows that the real power of psychotherapy isn't to remember what happened, but to change our interpretations of those events, so we can heal and grow.
