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. But how do we make and keep the memories that bring us lasting joy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Art of Making Memories\u003c\/em\u003e 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. 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. Ultimately, Meik shows how we each can create warm memories that will stay with us for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining his signature charm with Scandinavian forthrightness, filled with infographics, illustrations, and photographs, and featuring \"Happy Memory Tips,\" \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Making Memories\u003c\/em\u003e is an inspiration meditation and practical handbook filled with ideas to help us make the memories that will bring us joy throughout our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0062943383\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780062943385\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Wiking, Meik\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Oct 2019)","offer_id":46099824738501,"sku":"9780062943385","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780062943385.jpg?v=1776645654","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-art-of-making-memories-how-to-create-and-remember-happy-moments","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
