Author of “Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold On To What Matters”
 

Memory is far more than a record of the past. In this groundbreaking tour of the mind, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath, one of the world’s top memory researchers, reveals the powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives, from recalling faces and names, to learning, decision-making, trauma and healing. Combining accessible language with cutting-edge research, he reveals the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and plan for the future.
