Memory is a construction

Why do we remember?

Memory is far more than a record of the past. Leading neuroscientist and psychologist, Charan Ranganath, argues memory plays a powerful role in nearly every aspect of our lives, governing how we perceive the world, make decisions, and understand who we are. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Ranganath reveals that our memories are not fixed records but living constructions that help us interpret the present and imagine the future. He will teach memory techniques to allow you to remember the things you want to, make freer choices, and live a happier life.
