Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters

Why We Remember

Cassandra Tang

Memory is much, much more than an archive of the past; it is the prism through which we see ourselves, others and the world.

There is no such thing as multitasking, you just end up alternating between doing different tasks badly.

Experience doesn’t just change what you see, it changes what you look for.

At each stage, memory is doing exactly what it has evolved to do, and in the process, it connects us with one another, grounding us in the social world.

Introduced a few interesting concepts about memory but but the delivery felt dry and overly academic.
