Description: Remember by Lisa Genova Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description 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. Have you ever felt a crushing wave of panic when you walk into a room only to forget why you went there in the first place? You might be worried that this lapse in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimers or dementia. In reality, for the vast majority of us these examples of forgetting are completely normal. Why? Because while memory is amazing, it is far from perfect. Forgetting is actually part of being human. In Remember, Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. Youll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimers (that you own a car). And youll see how memory is profoundly impacted by emotion, sleep, stress, and context. Once you understand the language of memory and how it functions, you can improve your ability to remember and feel less rattled when you inevitably forget. You can set educated expectations for your memory and, in doing so, create a better relationship with it. You dont have to fear it anymore. And that can be life-changing.Praise for Remember: Using her expertise as a neuroscientist and her gifts as a storyteller, Genova explains the nuances of human memory.
