Due to a family passing at the time, I was unable to download this in time before it was archived, and having only returned after several years away due to it severely affecting me, I am now working my way through those reviews I was unable to get to to detail the issue. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

I was inspired to read this book because of my grandparents current state and my own personal struggles with sleep. This book gives you the tools to make a change in your life in an effort to prevent memory loss. There is a workbook that goes with it that I didn't have access to. Make sure you get that! This book explains, in layman's terms, how to implement skills to improve your memory.

Very interesting book! The section on what to eat was very informative. The whole book is amusing, with lots of useful knowledge. I recommend this book those of us who occasionally enjoy an eye opening neuroscience book.

This was such a neat book about how to retain memories and essentially improve your mental health! I have never read anything like it, and have been recommending it to a lot of my friends. I appreciate NetGalley and the authors for the opportunity to read this fascinating book!

This is a great book for people worried about their memory. Dr. All gives many tips on how to improve your memory, while explaining the importance of each step mentioned in the book, and the effect it has on your brain, in a simple and very understandable language.

The only reason I won't give this book 5 stars, is that many of the activities mentioned in the book are available on a complimentary pdf, but this material was not shared alongside the audiobook, which impaired my learning process and full absortion of the content.

Great book that explores why memory naturally declines and scientifically proven ways to enhance brain and memory function. Great read and recommended for any.

* I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book from NetGalley and HighBridge Audio in exchange for my honest review

A quick & easy guide to not just to boost your memory, but your mental health too.

This was pretty cool, not gonna lie. I learned a lot of interesting facts about the brain that I didn't know before and how it correlates to how we live our lives, and the things we could be doing to improve upon it. There's a ton of bonus content, and printable worksheets, which is no surprise given that the author originally planned for this to be a workbook. It's a very practical approach to live a high-quality life, and I really appreciated the advice on meditation and mindfulness thrown in there!

Thank you to HighBridge Audio for sending me an ARC copy of this book!

Thank you Netgalley for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book of The Neuroscience of Memory. Sheri All was so engaging and interesting in her explanation of the Neuroscience of how Memory is formed and stored. I found it extremely intriguing. She gave very simple steps to help people of all ages to improve Memory. I really enjoyed the book and learned alot
4.5 stars.

I probably should have paid more attention to the subtitle of this book, because while I was expecting a pop-science discussion of memory what I got was a self-help book. That said, this is probably the one of the best and is by far the most scientifically informed self help books I've ever read. The author, a Neuropsychologist, does a great job of talking about the way memory works and therefore the types of things you can do that will have an impact (and, more importantly, the things that will have no impact) on improving your memory. She clearly talks about where the science is unsettled or where the hype (e.g., supplements) outpaces reality. There is also a lot of focus on dealing with the anxiety and fear around memory lapses, which is a really good approach. The exercises and recommendations (around behavior, diet, exercise, etc.) seem thorough. Recommended to anyone worried about their memory.
