My ability to remember song lyrics from the eighties far exceeds my ability to remember why I walked into the kitchen.
Has that ever happened to you? Or something similar? I know I’ve done it more times than I can remember.
Ranganath, a professor of psychology and neuroscience and the director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at the University of California at Davis, takes the reader (me) through the science and experiments of how the brain works and remembers in lay terms. He’s a raconteur (storyteller) of the first degree. It’s easy keep turning the pages of this fascinating read.
Telling our stories in different settings helps us remember them, share them and tap into them easier.
Dancing Nia helps the neuroplasticity of the brain when learning a new step, a new routine or listening to a new song. Repetition of steps helps with body memory.
I know as I age and have more experiences, digging up a memory takes longer than when I was younger. It’s there. Nia helps me find it faster. Improving memory helps with the past, present and future.
Charan says it much better than I have. A thumbs up read. Find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble or your local library.
