REMEMBER The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting

Part neuropsychology lesson and part user's guide, this fast-moving audiobook is sure to give listeners more control over one of the brain's most important functions--memory. Genova, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist, has a gift for explaining complex brain functions in accessible and empowering language. With youthful enthusiasm that doesn't oversell her message, she narrates in a way that makes her ideas sound inviting. She says that once we stop worrying about normal memory lapses, we can easily train ourselves to remember the things we deem important. Her knowledge of brain functioning is impressive, but what stands out in this helpful lesson is how keenly she understands and empathizes with people who struggle with the challenges and declines we face in life.
