Sometimes we forget what we want to remember or remember things we want to forget or remember things that never happened at all. This book provides a way of thinking of how memory can cause trouble for us and play tricks on us. In this book you provide a framework to categorize the seven most basic memory miscues. First is transience. Give me an example.
Transience is the weakening of memory over time.
In the book, there's an extreme example. I was playing a round of golf. My partner hit a beautiful tee shot. I hit my shot and he teed the ball up again. He forgot he hit his shot.
