The Invention of Yesterday: A Journey Through Time and Memory

By Dr. Tammet

In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Tammet takes us on an extraordinary journey through time and memory, exploring the ways in which we remember, forget, and shape our past.

Drawing on cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and history, Dr. Tammet reveals the surprising truth about memory: that it is not a passive recording of the past, but rather an active process of creation. We constantly reconstruct our memories, shaping them to fit our current beliefs and desires.

This process of invention is essential to our understanding of the past. It allows us to make sense of our experiences, to learn from our mistakes, and to plan for the future. However, it also has a darker side. Memory can be distorted by trauma, bias, and wishful thinking.

In The Invention of Yesterday, Dr. Tammet explores the complex relationship between memory and truth. He argues that memory is not a reliable guide to the past, but rather a subjective and ever-changing narrative. This has profound implications for our understanding of history, justice, and personal identity.

The Invention of Yesterday is a thought-provoking and immersive journey through the nature of time, the power of memory, and the role of imagination in our understanding of the past. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the human mind and the mysteries of memory.
