by Charan Ranganath explores new science behind how our memory works. Neuroscientist and psychologist Ranganath offers a fresh perspective on a function of the brain that we still don’t completely understand and explores recent theories on how memories develop, positing that our memories are constantly reworking our experiences. Our memories are also somewhat programmable, meaning that we can create “false” memories through the power of suggestion, but, on the plus side, we can also trick ourselves into remembering where we put our keys by connecting their image to something else. A fascinating look at the current science of the mind. (Non-Fiction)
