IL BESTSELLER INTERNAZIONALE ''Davvero affascinante''. Steve Wright, BBC Radio 2 - Hai mai dimenticato il nome di qualcuno che hai incontrato decine di volte? - O scoperto che il tuo ricordo di un evento importante era completamente diverso da quello di tutti gli altri? - O ricordato vividamente di essere stato in un posto particolare in un momento particolare, solo per scoprire in seguito che non era possibile? Facciamo affidamento sui nostri ricordi ogni giorno della nostra vita. Ci rendono ciò che siamo. Eppure la verità è che sono ben lungi dall'essere la registrazione accurata del passato che ci piace pensare che siano. In The Memory Illusion, la psicologa forense ed esperta di memoria Dott. Ssa Julia Shaw attinge alle ultime ricerche per dimostrare perché i nostri ricordi così spesso ci giocano brutti scherzi e come, se comprendiamo la loro fallibilità, possiamo effettivamente migliorarne l'accuratezza. Il risultato è un'esplorazione delle nostre menti che è allo stesso tempo affascinante e snervante e che ti farà mettere in dubbio quanto puoi mai veramente sapere di te stesso. Pensi di avere una buona memoria? Ripensaci. ''Un'esplorazione vivace, divertente, a volte spaventosa, di come ricordiamo e del perché tutti ricordiamo cose che non sono mai accadute veramente''. Pacific Standard.
