The Art of Making Memories by Meik Wiking

The Art of Making Memoriesexamines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the "art of letting go"-why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones. Meik uses data, interviews, global surveys, and real-life experiments to explain the nuances of nostalgia and the different ways we form memories around our experiences and recall them-revealing the power that a "first time" has on our recollections, and why a piece of music, a smell, or a taste can unexpectedly conjure a moment from the past. Ultimately, Meik shows how we each can create warm memories that will stay with us for years.
Combining his signature charm with Scandinavian forthrightness, and featuring "Happy Memory Tips,"The Art of Making Memoriesis an inspiration meditation and practical guide filled with ideas to help us make the memories that will bring us joy throughout our lives.
