How does memory change as we grow older, and what can we do about it?

This is the question at the heart of Remembering Well.

Drawing on many people's experiences, the book

- explains how memory works and what factors affect it - like hearing and stress.

- explores what is part of normal memory change over the years and what is not.

- and presents strategies for managing these changes well.

This second edition, revised and updated, now includes two additional new chapters: (1) challenges at work and in learning, (2) latest information and reassuring practical advice on memory illnesses such as Alzheimer's.
