The answer is the same, I ought not to be surprised at this any more. Get enough sleep, eat your vegetables, exercise, practice mindfulness, nurture your social connections. Whether the question is about physical or mental health the fundamentals don’t change.

Fascinating and illuminating. Also, quite accessible for those of us with non-science brains.

An interesting introduction to the science of remembering (and, importantly, forgetting). Playfully reminds the reader of their own memory's shortcomings.

Very well articulated. Definitely one I would share with friends or family who also suffer from memory lapses.

This was an interesting book. It wasn't too technical to make it a hard to read or boring. Came away with a better handle on what is normal in the world of memory and things that can help improve it. Every time I am up late finishing up this or that, I now feel a little guilty that I am letting my memory down.....

Heard on audiobook. An outstanding scientific look at memory… turns out my memory isn’t as bad as I think it is.

3.5 stars. I listened to the audiobook, read by the author, and it was well done (and short)! Some good memory tips, most of which I already knew, but I liked knowing what is normal and what is concerning for Alzheimer’s. I loved Still Alice, so it was nice to have this background.
