Nikolay Kukushkin, Neuroscientist, Author & Teacher — a memory scientist who calls himself a "molecular philosopher", reveals your brain rewrites every memory you recall, and why you are built to never feel satisfied.

He explains:
◼ Why your brain physically rewrites a memory each time you recall it, making it less accurate
◼ How dopamine is about wanting and craving, not pleasure or satisfaction
◼ Why does the brain change when you learn something new
◼ What happened when a man who could remember everything found he could not live a normal life
◼ Why talking about a painful memory out loud can make it stronger, not weaker
◼ How to improve memory and learning through better sleep
