Lisa genova latest book6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Using her expertise as a neuroscientist and her gifts as a storyteller, Lisa Genova explains the nuances of human memory.” -Steven Pinker You can set educated expectations for your memory, and in doing so, create a better relationship with it. Once you understand the language of memory and how it functions, its incredible strengths and maddening weaknesses, its natural vulnerabilities and potential superpowers, you can both vastly improve your ability to remember and feel less rattled when you inevitably forget. And you’ll see how memory is profoundly impacted by meaning, emotion, sleep, stress, and context. You’ll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer’s (that you own a car). 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 (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. A fascinating exploration of the intricacies of how we remember, why we forget, and what we can do to protect our memories, from the Harvard-trained neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Alice. ![]()
