After receiving repeated rounds of electroshock treatments to combat his severe clinical depression, Cott couldn't remember anything he had experienced between 1985 and 2000. Not a shred remained of his intimate relationships, his travels, his writings, his joys and sorrows. Though shattered by the loss, Cott summoned the will to try to understand exactly what had happened to him-and, beyond that, to probe the mysteries of human memory through neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and literature. The result is this extraordinary meditation on the vital role of remembering and forgetting in every aspect of human life.As Cott grapples with the personal and medical implications of his own case, he turns to experts in a range of fields for their unique insights on human memory.

Author David Shenk tells how researchers came to identify Alzheimer's disease and how treatments for dementia have changed dramatically in recent years. Harvard psychologist Richard J. McNally ponders why memory and imagination so often become confused, leading to difficulties in ascertaining the truth of recovered memories. Actress Ellen Burstyn reveals how actors summon emotional memories as they strive to fully inhabit a role. Spiritual thinker and writer Thoma.
