Remember by Lisa Genova

The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting

A clear, compassionate look at how memory works and why we forget, this book blends accessible neuroscience, patient stories, and practical exercises to distinguish normal age-related lapses from pathological memory loss and to offer evidence-based ways to protect and improve memory. It explains underlying brain mechanisms, the role of sleep, exercise, stress and diet, and the concept of cognitive reserve, while providing mnemonic strategies, lifestyle recommendations, and guidance for caregivers — reframing forgetting as both a natural, adaptive process and a signal for when to seek help.
