The Remembering Self

The Remembering Self is the part of us that creates a narrative of our experiences, shaping how we recall and evaluate our past. Unlike the Experiencing Self, which lives in the present moment, the Remembering Self focuses on how we remember moments, often emphasizing peaks and endings. It influences our decisions, satisfaction, and identity by highlighting certain memories over others. Essentially, it constructs a story of our life that impacts how we perceive our happiness and well-being, even though it might not always reflect the full reality of our experiences.
