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!
