This was an enjoyable look at the science of memory and how our memories affect our happiness. The format of the book makes for very easy and pleasant reading, with brief but well-written subsections and beautiful illustrations and photos. Any reader will find food for thought here about how to process the big and little things in life so as to have a deep reservoir of meaningful memories in the story that you narrate about your own life. I especially loved the advice to "harness the power of firsts" by seeking out novel experiences and "outsource memory" by recording what you experience--and not just in photos, which can actually decrease your ability to pay attention to the moment. For, as Confucius says, "The palest ink is better than the best memory." I thought there were some really handy suggestions about how to diminish the pull of your devices so that you are more capable of focusing on the moment. The author also addresses subjects such as the forgetting curve and the challenge of an overly curated memory bank that you create on social media. This author is very amusing, but the FUNNIEST section was where he briefly muses on why people are so excited about football and what the world would be like if people were equally passionate about, for instance, origami. (To a non-sports-enthusiast, this whole section will have you standing and applauding.) I recommend this quick and pleasant read to everyone. Thanks to Edelweiss for this advance review copy! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
What's the actual secret to happiness? Great memories! Meik Wiking-happiness researcher and New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge and The Little Book of Lykke-shows us how to create memories that make life sweet in this charming audiobook. Do you remember your first kiss? The day you graduated? Your favorite vacation? Or the best meal you ever had? Memories are the cornerstones of our identity, shaping who we are, how we act, and how we feel. In his work as a happiness researcher, Meik Wiking has learned that people are happier if they hold a positive, nostalgic view of the past. But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? The Art of Making Memories examines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the "art of letting go"-why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones. Meik uses data, interviews, global surveys, and real-life experiments to explain the nuances of nostalgia and the different ways we form memories around our experiences and recall them-revealing the power that a "first time" has on our recollections, and why a piece of music, a smell, or a taste can unexpectedly conjure a moment from the past. Ultimately, Meik shows how we each can create warm memories that will stay with us for years. Combining his signature charm with Scandinavian forthrightness, and featuring "Happy Memory Tips," The Art of Making Memories is an inspiration meditation and practical guide filled with ideas to help us make the memories that will bring us joy throughout our lives.
