A fascinating exploration of the human memory by a Harvard neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Alice. With rights to this book in 9 countries, you’ll learn how memory is formed, what happens to forgotten memories (are they only temporarily accessible or are they erased forever?), and why some types of information are remembered for only a few seconds, while others are remembered for a lifetime.

You’ll understand the difference between normal forgetfulness and forgetfulness caused by Alzheimer’s disease, and how meaning, emotion, sleep, and context can greatly affect memory. Understanding how memory works, its natural limitations, and its potential superpower can greatly enhance your ability to remember, and worry less when you forget. “What is our real relationship with memory? How should we treat it? Try to grasp the depth of the paradox: memory is everything and nothing. It should be taken seriously, but it should be treated lightly. We can form reasonable expectations and improve our relationship with our memory. We don't have to be afraid of it anymore. And that can change our lives." (Lisa Genova)
