About this listen

Memory binds our mental life together. We are who we are in large part because of what we learn and remember. But how does the brain create memories?

Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel intertwines the intellectual history of the powerful new science of the mind - a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology - with his own personal quest to understand memory.

A deft mixture of memoir and history, modern biology and behavior, In Search of Memory brings listeners from Kandel's childhood in Nazi-occupied Vienna to the forefront of one of the great scientific endeavors of the 20th century: the search for the biological basis of memory.

I picked up this book to learn about memory and how to improve it.

It is more a biography on ER Kandel. I found his career path, Vienna during and after the war, treatment of Jews in Austria and being awarded the noble prize a very interesting read, told by an enthusiastic author.
