About this listen
Why can you vividly recall the day your father took you to your first baseball game many years ago, but you can’t remember where you just put the car keys? The process of how - and what - we remember is a fascinating window into who we are and what makes us tick. In this audiobook, we explore what science can and can’t tell us about memory.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Poorly phrased reading
The reader usually speaks clearly, and sounds nice. But she makes little effort to parse sub-phrases delineated by parenthetical commas, such as this one, to indicate its subordinate nature (e.g. by speaking more rapidly and a tad more quietly). This makes listening a pain in the neck for the more complicated sentences, of which there are many.
The written text is quite interesting. It describes parallel overlapping research in progress, rather than a succinct textbook summary that tells you what was finally concluded, and by now is somewhat dated. And it is often dumbed down so much that it becomes hard work to understand what the researchers were actually doing. But better than nothing. Can anyone point me to a succinct current summary of all this incredibly useful science? Then again, seeing the details of how the sausage is made is very good for assessing how sure scientists can be of their conclusions, and suggest alternative explanations.
