   " Have you ever felt a crushing wave of panic when you can't for the life of   
   you remember the name of that actor in the movie you saw last week, or you walk   
   into a room only to forget why you went there in the first place? If you're   
   over forty, you're probably not laughing. You might even be worried that these   
   lapses in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimer's or dementia. In reality,   
   for the vast majority of us, these examples of forgetting are completely   
   normal. Why? Because while memory is amazing, it is far from perfect. Our   
   brains aren't designed to remember every name we hear, plan we make, or day we   
   experience. Just because your memory sometimes fails doesn't mean it's broken   
   or succumbing to disease. Forgetting is actually part of being human.    
      
   " In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into   
   how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten   
   memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories   
   are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can   
   last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear   
   distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and   
   forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car). And you'll see how memory   
   is profoundly impacted by meaning, emotion, sleep, stress, and context. Once   
   you understand the language of memory and how it functions, its incredible   
   strengths and maddening weaknesses, its natural vulnerabilities and potential   
   superpowers, you can both vastly improve your ability to remember and feel less   
   rattled when you inevitably forget. You can set educated expectations for your   
   memory, and in doing so, create a better relationship with it. You don't have   
   to fear it anymore. And that can be life-changing.
