Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting, Lisa Genova (4.0)
Parts of this book are very reassuring parts are very frightening. Even given that, I do recommend anyone concerned with memory read it. The author is a neuroscientist and explains how memory works physically and procedurally. Her examples are familiar to us all -at various points in our lives. I particularly appreciated that while our memories are better when we are younger, we also didn’t get as worried when we forgot something as early onset Alzheimer’s was not a concern. She does spend a good portion of the book differentiating between normal aging memory loss and the various forms of dementia. Importantly she also discusses how to improve your memory at any age.
