Overview
Drawing on the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience and decades of her own lab’s pioneering research at Columbia, memory expert Daphna Shohamy offers a graceful, accessible, and authoritative tour of how the brain transforms experiences into memories and memories into decisions. Shohamy shows that the primary purpose of memory is not to record the past, but to help us imagine our future. A masterful explainer and an elegant writer, Shohamy weaves together stories of family and friendship, insightful lessons from literature, and fascinating brain science experiments to reveal the surprising ways that memory shapes our behavior. How do we decide what to order at lunch or which career path to pursue? Why do we struggle with indecision? What allows us to accrue wisdom? Foresight is a profound and elegant exploration of how memory constructs our sense of self and our future.
