The book of memory : how we become who we are / by Rowlands, Mark,author.(CARDINAL)394613;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 141-145).Preface: My life as a fictional character -- Part one: The book of memory -- Part two: The waters of Lethe -- Part three: Bright islands in the night -- Part four: Negotiating with the past -- Postface: My afterlife as a fictional character."Reveals how memories aren't fixed. They soften and consolidate -- and are distorted -- each time we revisit them, even those memories most deeply ingrained. The way we call on memory is closer to a 'negotiation with the past.' From episodic memories like 'shining islands in dark waters' and forgotten 'Rilkean' memories that underpin our personalities and essential style to the memories we might hold that have been authored by others close to us, The Book of Memory draws on philosophical argument, a range of writers and thinkers, the latest neurological research, and psychology experiments to chart how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves."--

Those memories often prevent us from reaching our goals, whether they be related to weight, career, relationships, or success in other areas. But international bestselling author Alexander Loyd has developed a set of techniques that enable users to change the stories they tell about themselves to become healthier, happier, and more successful. Memory Reengineering is a toolbox of skills that disconnect painful emotions from memories, replacing them with happier and healthier feelings. In THE MEMORY CODE, Dr. Loyd teaches readers that the past does not have to dictate the future. You can change your behaviors by changing the way you tell your story-and once you understand the process, you can begin to feel the effects in as little as 10 minutes. Whether you want to improve at work, fix your relationships, end an addiction, or just finally move past painful memories to achieve self-growth, THE MEMORY CODE will give you the power to change"--

Trauma and memory : brain and body in a search for the living past : a practical guide for understanding and working with traumatic memory / by Levine, Peter A.,author.(CARDINAL)640733;
"Discusses different types of memory formation, especially traumatic memory, and how somatic or body-based memory can be utilized in the therapeutic process"--"In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind. While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, brain and body, we can adjust our relationship to past trauma and move into a more balanced, relaxed state of being. Written for trauma sufferers as well as mental health care practitioners, Trauma and Memory is a groundbreaking look at how memory is constructed and how influential memories are on our present state of being"--

The second chance cinema : a novel / by Weiss, Thea,author.;
"At the end of a cobblestone alley, shrouded by fog and empty storefronts, lies a glittering magical cinema, with "The Story of You" presented on the marquee. Ellie and Drake, a newly engaged couple, stumble upon it while walking around their city late one night. Ellie, a dreamer who has made a career of writing about nearly forgotten businesses, is immediately intrigued. Tickets in hand, they make their way into the deserted red-velvet auditorium and to their great surprise, see projected before them memories from their respective pasts. Risk-averse Drake is reluctant when Ellie insists they return to the cinema, but he finally concedes. There's a moment she's haunted by from her past that she doesn't fully remember. If she could only watch what happened, then maybe she'd finally know she wasn't to blame. Meanwhile, Drake is concerned that Ellie will get the wrong idea about a past relationship from what she sees on the screen. As their memories inch closer to the day they met, they realize they both have been keeping secrets from each other. With their wedding on the horizon, Ellie and Drake will be forced to answer: do you need to love who someone was, to love who they are now? Brimming with nostalgia, heart, and a dash of magic, The Second Chance Cinema is both an enchanting escape and a thought-provoking examination of how our past shapes who we are"--
