About this audiobook

Unlock the unsettling truth about your own past. This non-fiction audiobook, presented through the recovered audio journals of a brilliant but reclusive psychologist, reveals why your most vivid childhood memories might be entirely fabricated. Explore the science of memory malleability, dissect landmark studies like the 'Lost in the Mall' experiment, and discover the terrifying ease with which human minds can rewrite history. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how memory works—or, more accurately, how it fails.
