What if understanding how we remember could influence what we choose to remember?

Memory is more than just a mental archive of the past; it is a dynamic process that shapes the present and the future. Understanding how we remember-or fail to recall-can have a significant impact on how we choose to preserve and prioritize our experiences. Exploring the science of memory can help us not only understand why certain moments remain with us, but can also help us enhance our ability to remember important events.

Charan Ranganath, a leading expert in cognitive neuroscience, shares how the science of memory can help us focus on what truly matters in our lives and improve our ability to retain meaningful experiences. Through his book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters, he discusses how memories shape our lives and how we can harness this understanding to preserve the moments that matter most. 

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Charan Ranganath to talk about the essence of memory and its impact on our lives. This conversation will also reveal how we can optimize our memory to focus on the most important things and events, from managing our digital lives to embracing curiosity.
