In this groundbreaking tour of the mind and brain, 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.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new understanding of memory is emerging from the latest scientific research. In \u003ci\u003eWhy We Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMemory, Dr. Ranganath shows, is a highly transformative force that shapes how we experience the world in often invisible and sometimes destructive ways. Knowing this can help us with daily remembering tasks, like finding our keys, and with the challenge of memory loss as we age. What's more, when we work with the brain's ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can heal trauma, shed our biases, learn faster, and grow in self-awareness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluding fascinating studies and examples from pop culture, and drawing on Ranganath's life as a scientist, father, and child of immigrants, \u003ci\u003eWhy We Remember\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating read that unveils the hidden role memory plays throughout our lives. When we understand its power-- and its quirks--we can cut through the clutter and remember the things we want to remember. We can make freer choices and plan a happier future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHARAN RANGANATH is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at the University of California at Davis.
