EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about memory, including how to improve memory. We actually aren’t supposed to remember everything. The brain is designed to forget things that are not useful to us. In fact, trying to remember everything can cause neurochemical chaos in our neural circuitry because we are designed to selectively remember what interests us and what we need for a particular task.
