Join Iain McGilchrist in this interactive opening interview to learn how to recognise when you've become trapped in left hemisphere thinking, and to ask Dr McGilchrist questions about the structure of our brains and how we experience reality.

Is forgetting a vital and critical aspect of being who we are? Should we place less emphasis on memory and focus more on what and how to forget?  And should psychotherapy follow Freud and seek to recover memories or is wellbeing more easily found with finding ways to forget?

Charan Ranganath, leading neuroscientist and psychologist, argues that memory is far more than a record of the past. It plays a powerful role in nearly every aspect of our lives, governing how we perceive the world, make decisions, and understand who we are.
