The Memory Illusion (book)

"The Memory Illusion" by Julia Shaw explores how human memories are not as reliable as we think. Shaw argues that our memories can be distorted or fabricated, influenced by various factors like suggestion, emotion, and social context. She discusses the science of memory, including how memories can be implanted or altered, leading to false recollections. With real-life examples, Shaw highlights the implications of these memory distortions for personal identity, legal matters, and everyday life, encouraging readers to question the accuracy of their own memories and understand the malleable nature of the human mind.
