Ons geheugen is als een innerlijke bibliotheek, waarin elk hoofdstuk een uniek verhaal vertelt. Van het herinneren van de eerste keer dat je een geliefde ontmoette tot het opslaan van feitelijke informatie voor examens, het geheugen is de hoeksteen van ons bestaan. Dit boek neemt je mee op een reis door de kernprincipes van het geheugen, verkent de intrigerende verbinding tussen het brein en herinneringen, en biedt inzicht in hoe we ons geheugen kunnen trainen en verbeteren. We onderzoeken de rol van emoties, de invloed van leeftijd en de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in geheugenonderzoek.
