Overview

Un experto en psicología de la memoria nos adentra en los misterios de esta fascinante capacidad humana.

La memoria y la vida es una obra clave para entender la perfecta simbiosis que se trenza entre los recuerdos y las experiencias vitales. Al fin y al cabo, no somos sino la historia que vamos construyendo mientras nos debatimos entre la fugacidad temporal y el trabajo del cerebro por neutralizarla. La vida es una narración que desarrollamos cada día en el territorio de la memoria, en esa factoría personal de los recuerdos gracias a la cual somos lo que somos, sabemos quiénes somos y los días adquieren el sentido de la continuidad. Lo que hace es algo tan fascinante como detener el tiempo y dar paso a lo que realmente acaba alumbrando a un individuo con una identidad y una biografía.

Somos lo que recordamos, pero ¿sabemos por qué la memoria funciona como funciona? Caprichosa, a veces. Incomprensible, otras. En este libro, tan riguroso como ameno, el catedrático de Psicología de la Memoria José María Ruiz Vargas desentraña con lucidez algunos interrogantes sobre los recuerdos. ¿Son fiables? ¿Se ajustan al pasado o son una invención? ¿Por qué no podemos rescatar ninguno de nuestros primeros años? ¿Por qué se olvidan tantas cosas y, sin embargo, no podemos sacarnos de la cabeza lo que más nos duele? ¿Por qué regresan a muestra mente algunos hechos vividos? ¿Cómo reacciona el cerebro frente al envejecimiento? ¿Por qué se acelera el tiempo con la edad?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An expert in the psychology of memory takes us deep into the mysteries of this fascinating human capacity.
 
Memory and Life is a guide to understanding the perfect symbiosis between memories and lived experiences. Ultimately, we are defined by the stories we create to reconcile the ephemeral nature of time and our brain’s efforts to conquer it. Our lives are a narrative constructed by our memories, those personal stores of recollections that make and help us understand who we are and give a sense of continuity to our days. Memory is a fascinating mechanism that essentially stops time to make room for those elements fundamental to building our individual identities and biographies.
 
We are what we remember, but do we understand why memory works the way it does? Capricious at times, incomprehensible at others. In this book, as thorough as it is readable, Professor José María Ruiz Vargas, an authority on the psychology of memory, offers lucid answers to many pressing questions. Can we trust our memories? Do they adjust to or invent the past? Why can’t we access events from our earliest years? Why do we forget so many things and yet are unable to shunt aside our most hurtful impressions? Why do we recall certain episodes from our past? How does the brain respond to aging? Why does time seem to speed up as we get older?
