Summary

Dr. Charan Ranganath is a prominent neuroscientist, a professor at UC Davis, and the author of the influential book “Why We Remember.” This conversation explores the profound intersection of neuroscience and human experience. Charan reveals that our most resonant memories resemble paintings more than photographs, continuously reshaped by the present moment. We discuss the role of memory in identity, survival, and healing, as well as its implications in our digital age. During our exchange, I gained insight into why my cherished memories might be less reliable than I had previously believed. Charan is an impressive yet approachable voice in memory science. This exploration might make you question your narrative. Enjoy!
