The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers by Daniel L. Schacter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fairly interesting book overall on the subject of the vagaries of human memory--with lessons learned from animal memories as well--though it wasn't the most engaging book. Had to push my way through it and there was quite a bit of technical jargon along the way. Insightful, though, and bottom-line: our memories' strengths & weaknesses all end up serving us in multiple ways, connecting us to others and to our time-space context, helping us to negotiate our way through complex lives. Though not stated, our minds & their connected memories are an amazing testimony to the intricacies & complexities of our creation by a Creator who leaves nothing to chance.
