Story
Memories are the cornerstones of our identity, shaping who we are, how we act, and how we feel. In his work as a happiness researcher, Meik Wiking has learned that people are happier if they hold a positive, nostalgic view of the past. But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? The Art of Making Memories examines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the "art of letting go" - why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones.

Helped me find the balance between speed and comprehension
I’ve always considered myself a slow reader, but I assumed that my only ways to increase speed would involve worsening my comprehension. I’m thankful I found this book to help me challenge this assumption!
The book does a fantastic job explaining the balance between reading speed and comprehension, and it explains several methods you can utilize to slowly increase both. It addresses speed reading myths and bold claims, and offers more realistic expectations for readers.
As a busy mom who often finds myself drowning in work, I’m thankful for the lessons learned in this book to help me increase my efficiency. After only a couple of days, I’m already noticing improvement, and I believe I’ll continue to improve with practice. I highly recommend this book to others looking to cut down on time spent reading.
