Synopsis

Me and My Memory is a book for teens and young adults about how we remember and forget. Memory is an important part of what makes us human - giving us a past, illuminating the present and orienting us to the future -  memory helps us understand who we are. Filled with fun graphic illustrations and activities, this book explains how memory works, strategies to improve memory for school and life, how we make false memories, how traumatic memories form and how we heal, why we have "flashbulb memories" -- all you really need to understand your memory and your mind.

Review

You can remember what boots Captain Kirk wore on episode #14 of Star Trek, but you can't remember where you put your car keys. "Me and My Memory: Why We Forget Some Things and Remember Others" discusses memory and its strange behaviors with the imperfect juggernaut of information that is the human mind. "Me and My Memory" gives advice on how to soak the important stuff in, and why we remember such meaningless things. "Me and My Memory: Why We Forget Some Things and Remember Others" is a top read for those intrigued by memory. --MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
