MEMORY: How memory shapes our understanding of the world

Send us a text

Chrissy opens today’s episode with a meditation on the past and present, then shares the definition of the word MEMORY and invites us to consider the question: how does memory shape our understanding of the world?

Barbara Rubin also joins the conversation to discuss her memoir More Than You Can See, a story of joy and sorrow mixed with humor and rage as both a mother and advocate for her injured daughter Jenn. Together, Chrissy and Barbara discuss the ways traumatic brain injuries impact memory and how joyous and painful memories intertwine in our lives.

Then Chrissy shares this week’s book recommendation, The Forgetting Machine: Memory, Perception, and the Jennifer Aniston Neuron by Rodrigo Quian Quiroga.

And in the end, Chrissy encourages you to ask yourself:

• How does memory shape our understanding of the world?
• Is it possible to erase memories?
• What ways can you improve your memories and recall?
