![]() Meik uses data, interviews, global surveys, and real-life experiments to explain the nuances of nostalgia and the different ways we form memories around our experiences and recall them-revealing the power that a "first time" has on our recollections, and why a piece of music, a smell, or a taste can unexpectedly conjure a moment from the past. The Art of Making Memories examines how mental images are made, stored, and recalled in our brains, as well as the "art of letting go"-why we tend to forget certain moments to make room for deeper, more meaningful ones. ![]() But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy? In his work as a happiness researcher, Meik Wiking has learned that people are happier if they hold a positive, nostalgic view of the past. Memories are the cornerstones of our identity, shaping who we are, how we act, and how we feel. ![]() Do you remember your first kiss? The day you graduated? Your favorite vacation? Or the best meal you ever had? What's the actual secret to happiness? Great memories! Meik Wiking-happiness researcher and New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge and The Little Book of Lykke-shows us how to create memories that make life sweet in this charming audiobook. ![]()
