Thanks to NetGalley and New Harbinger for the ARC.

This book is aimed at people who really are concerned about their memory. I was not the target audience, but still it was interesting.

The author provides a website where you can download and print a workbook with exercises to complete while reading. I thought that was cool and a very dynamic way to motivate readers. It's not always you come across an interactive book.

At first, it's full of "I will teach you how to…", "You will learn to…", etc, but not actually getting to it. That was a little annoying, but once it got to the knowledge sharing it was better. In my opinion, the information seemed somewhat superficial. I would've thought she'd dive deeper into the subject.

The exact same sentences were mentioned more than once. I'm sure it's because this is an uncorrected proof, because I found myself often saying, didn't I just read this a few pages ago?

After not being able to exercise for over a month due to surgery, I feel very motivated to start again after being reassured that physical activity is good not only for your body but for your brain too.

Overall, it's a good book with good tips on improving your memory, though it did not blow me away. It's a little too much self-helpish for my taste.

I love anything brain related. This book covers a host of topics and and ways to improve cognition, but it's not anything new and the information was very basic at best. That being said, I study the brain a neuroplasticity and neuropsychiatry, maybe this book is fantastic for someone just wanting to learn a little more than they already know.

There's a lot of good information and ways for preventing cognitive deficits in this book. It's full of great suggestions about how to coach your brain to establish new practices that help you boost your memory. The most important insight was that worrying about memory or attention impairments exacerbates the problem. The author is optimistic that cognitive capacity can be enhanced and offers helpful methods to aid in memory improvement

This is a wonderful and insightful read into the mind and our memory. Filled with wonderful ideas on how to train your brain to form new habits to improve your memory.

Thank you to Netgalley, New Harbinger Publications, and Sherrie All for a gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an interesting book! I have definitely noticed a change in my own memory, over recent years especially, and have worries about what that might mean. If you’re like me (or just interested in the brain, memory, etc) then pick up this book! Not only does it give you ways to help your memory as the cover suggests, but there is so much background information!

While reading, I learned so much about neuroscience, how memories are formed and kept, little factoids that were just mind blowing (SO INTERESTING.) Obviously this books discussed dementia and Alzheimer’s, and it is honestly just so informative.

There are numerous times in this book when you stop and complete an exercise. Have an e-arc I was unable to see all of it, but all of what I could see was helpful and I think the interactive aspect is very important!

Go read up on your brain!

Excellent book that breaks down how memories are formed, how to screen for memory impairment, and offers multiple tools to help improve your memory. In addition there are some great ideas for how to work with your primary care provider and/or neurologist to understand what is attributing to cognitive impairments. Easy to read. Well organized. You truly can’t go wrong with this book whether you are a patient or a healthcare practitioner.

This was faciniating. I am 29 years old but there are so many memories that I feel I am missing. I often plan to research ways to improve my memory but then I forget. This was well written and easy for me to understand and absorb. My mother suffered a concussion last summer and I will be suggesting she read this to get some insight. Well done!

A few weeks ago I took a short memory test of having to remember 3 random words after having a conversation with the person who gave the test. I could recall 2 of the 3. Now that's not bad, but I used to have almost total recall so it was troubling to me. Then, I discovered this book The Neuroscience of Science... which offers the neuroscience data behind memory and seven skills for helping one to remember. This book is fascinating and so informative. I learned some new skills to help me remember things. Some of them I was already doing, but one of them was not. Adding it to my skill set will help my memory. All gives readers a clever acronym to remember these five things. I really enjoyed this book and want to read more of Dr. All's books. I highly recommend it.

Full of useful information and strategies for preventing cognitive decline. The biggest takeaway for me was that stressing out over lapses in memory or attention actually makes the problem worse. The author gives the reader hope that cognitive reserve can be increased and provides useful tools (like WOPR) to assist in improving memory.

"The Neuroscience of Memory" falls into my sweet spot of memory, aging, and self-help books, but the narrative structure is confusing since it presents itself as a workbook while reading as a potential workbook/medical non-fiction title. I understand they are not mutually exclusive, but the tone for one might be different than the other. Perhaps this was adjusted later in the editing process, but the tone was distracting. I was also perplexed as to why there were repeated instances of seemingly dismissive remarks about people's concerns about their memories.
I appreciate the opportunity to read the advance copy and I look forward to what the final book reveals. Thank you!

4 stars. A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE! Cognitive decline is something many of us will face if we haven't already as our population continues to live longer. Sherrie All breaks down the risk factors - and there are many - but also describes the science behind the various forms of memory decline and shares some ways to improve our memories. I learned that turning 65 is the number one risk factor for memory decline but that there are many others. I'd be surprised if anyone reads the list and hasn't experienced something that puts them at a higher risk than they imagined. That means it's useful for all of us to learn more about this important topic. All provides evidence-based information, insight, a workbook of activities to do to help and gives us all hope. Thank you to Sherrie All and New Harbinger Publications for this interesting, useful book! #TheNeuroscienceofMemory #NetGalley

I recommend this book if your interested in the topic of memory and commitment to self-exploration and forming new habits to improve your memory. It’s a breezy read for a complex topic and it offers many prompts and exercises to empower you.

A fantastic overview and deep diving excavation of the mind and our memory systems. A highlight for the reader is the amount of interaction with the text, to include myriad of prompts and exercises to enrich learning and self exploration. Highly recommend for anyone with any interest in the topic of memory.

This book was so helpful in giving information about the brain, memory, and how to better improve it through exercise, stress reduction and simple techniques!

I would recommend this book to people looking to better understand neuroscience or those wanting to improve their ability to remember.

Overall, an informative and helpful read!
