Memory Lane: The Perfectly Imperfect Ways We Remember                                  by Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy

Ever wonder why you and a sibling might remember an event from your childhood differently. It is completely normal. This book will teach you so much about how memory works. 

Memory Lane: The Perfectly Imperfect Ways We Remember by Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy, it's a popular science book that explores how human memory really works. Rather than acting like a perfect recording of the past, our memories are constantly reconstructed and reshaped each time we recall them. The authors explain why memory can be unreliable, how false memories form, why eyewitness testimony can be flawed, and even why forgetting is sometimes beneficial. They argue that our imperfect memories are actually an important part of how we learn, adapt, maintain relationships, and imagine the future. [press.princeton.edu], [books.google.com]
