This week, renowned professor of psychology and neuroscience Charan Ranganath, Ph.D. joins Lindsey to unravel the intricacies of our memory. With shocking insights from his new book, “Why We Remember,” Charan shows us that our brains aren’t designed to retain everything but rather to preserve what truly impacts our journey through life.

Charan + Lindsey uncover the societal and spiritual factors associated with the increasing incidence of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases. Plus, find out how subtle lifestyle shifts like practicing mindfulness, embracing novelty, and leaning into curiosity can improve our memory. 

Get ready to challenge your beliefs about your mind, trauma, and depression, as Charan takes us through the science of why we think and feel the way we do.

Spoiler – memory actually has the power to make us happy, if we learn to use it to our advantage. 

We also talk about:

  • Why grade-focused education stunts our growth
  • The benefits of aerobic exercise for brain health
  • The influence of inflammation on the brain
  • How memories change when they’re shared
  • The effect of stress on memory
  • Why sensory stimulation is so healthy
  • How to naturally energize the brain
  • Error-driven learning + memory retention
