It is the science of oblivion, which has been hidden from the 'Self of Memory.'. Often called ‘I’m happy to forget,’ but it is only treated as a proverb of wisdom for people who have lived long enough, and the role of brain science has been overfocused on ‘ how to remember well and keep that memory until death. ’. The author, a Harvard professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University in the United States, stresses that most of the symptoms we worry about are not pathological forgetfulness, but ‘normal forgetting. ’. And the latest research in brain sciences has shown that the science of forgetting is a story that melts the cases of many patients and people we have met. The modern man who lives in a world that is constantly plagued with obsessions with memory and fears of forgetting will realize that forgetfulness is not only natural but it is also essential to make our minds work well as the best functions of the brain. So far, forgetting is just the opposite of remembering, a flaw in memory systems and a limit to our brain. So it may seem strange to put ‘ normal ’ in front of the word ‘ forgetfulness. ’. But cutting-edge science has already been able to discover much of the principle and possibilities of normal forgetting. The memory of the brain is not suddenly ‘ problem ’ and it becomes a forget - and - forget - it - is - a memory. Just as the instrument ‘ for remembering ’ is built into our brain, so are the tools ‘ for forgetting ’ and they are constantly working when we are not aware. This is proof that forgetting is not a passive process, but a positive process.

Why should we forget Scott A. The man I knew yesterday, the guy who did what I did yesterday, and I couldn't remember anything that was moving and moving yesterday, would be horrible and sad if I didn't recall today. But you can also think about it differently. I'm glad if I can't remember the person who made me suffer and sick, the one who was criticized and humiliated, the pain that makes me feel better and more vulnerable every day. Remembering, as most of our lives do, has two sides. The

I'm a secret writer, trying to remember myself. But I forget how mean I was to myself. As I read this book, I really agree with the fact that I learned easily how forgetting is beneficial to cognitive skills, and that it's free from my obsessions, that when there's a harmony of memory and forgetfulness, like the text of the text, it gives me a chance to live a more comfortable and stable life. I was living a life of self-reproach and being obsessed with self-advised memories, and I felt that

What's still undiscovered is what many people are interested in. I'm one of them too. I'm particularly interested in the book about forgetting. We feel sad when we forget something that we know well, something that is precious to someone who doesn't know well. It doesn't matter whether he's close or not. Everything that exists by remembering something and remembering it cancels out in his life. Why should we forget? "The rabbi is forbidden to use the wrong language as a upright man. But there

I've forgotten too much lately. But don't forget it. In the first chapter, we are passing the line of comfort, and there is a sentence on the prolog that says, ‘To you who wants memory like high-end photos.’. The authors say that most people complain about normal forgetfulness. Natural, birth-born, forgotten symptoms. Loss of memory and balance are essential for emotional happiness, and it is said that it can bring down anger, nervous fear, and sagging painful experiences and put in the prison

I remember a lot of things differently. I remember too many times, and I didn't accept it, and then I bounced. Even after more than 20 years of happening, they regret or are angry. Sometimes people who don't remember what happened get embarrassed at me. It may be a blessing to remember well, but it's not necessarily. Because all my memories are covered with scars, so it's not gonna be good to remember. The author emphasizes the need for forgetting as a doctor of aging and dementia. If you're
