Thank you all so much.

So let's get into it.

Today I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Cheren Rangarath.

And he is a professor of psychology and neuroscience

and also the director of the Dynamic Memory Lab

at the University of California at Davis.

So we're going to be talking all about memory today.

He has a new book out called Why We Remember,

Unlocking Memories Power to hold on to what matters.

And this book will really make you rethink what you thought you knew about memory

and think about it in a whole new way.

And hopefully we give you a little taste of that during the

episode so without any further ado here he is Dr. Chutum Rangana.
