@iamrichroll: How reliable are the stories we tell ourselves about our identity? This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Charan Ranganath, a pioneering neuroscientist transforming our understanding of memory. His research shows that our memories resemble not photographs of the past but paintings—constantly altered by the present moment. We explore memory’s counterintuitive purpose (hint: it’s not about documenting the past), why forgetting is crucial for survival, and how sharing stories can reshape our memories. We discuss the surprising ways that stress, sleep, and our digital environment impact memory. His insights reveal how memories shape our identity and choices, providing practical strategies to engage with—rather than resist—our remembering minds. Now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you enjoy the RRP. Episode 876. ✌🏼🌱 - Rich
