Memory's Story Roads
Why do stories help us remember things better?
Quick test: try to memorize "7, market, rain, dog, brave." Hard, right? Now try "On a rainy day, a brave dog ran to the market and bought seven bones." Suddenly it sticks. Same words, but one is a list and one is a story. That little bit of magic is what this book is about.
Your memory is not a filing cabinet where facts sit politely in folders. It's more like a city of roads. A fact you remember well is a fact with many roads leading to it — lots of ways to arrive. A lonely fact with no roads is one you can almost never reach again.
