I haven't read much of it. Cognitive function, creativity, mental health, personality development, and even memory all require "forgetting." Conventional research considered forgetting an error of the brain. However, in recent years, it has become clear that "forgetting" plays an important role in supporting brain function. ・What can we learn about the role of forgetting from cases of autism with excessively good memory? ・How did a doctor who was not good at memorization become a great diagnostician? ・What can we say about the relationship between creation and forgetting from the works of a painter with dementia? ・How do memory and forgetting affect personality? This is an outstanding popular science book that connects insights from fields such as neurobiology, medicine, psychology, and computer science to depict the surprising discoveries surrounding "forgetting" as a brain function. ::::::::::Praise for this book:::::::::: "Being forgetful is not only normal, but even beneficial. This is a practical and wonderful book that tells you why." -- Walter Isaacson, author of "Elon Musk" "Forgetting is not a misfortune, but a blessing. It passionately and concisely explains the latest science of memory to the general reader." -- Antonio Damasio, author of "Descartes' Error" I cannot offer a discount.
