I thought the explanation of how to tell if a memory is actually a memory or something your mind has created based on stories you've been told or photos you've seen was very helpful. It helped me realize that what I thought were two very early childhood memories probably are not actual memories, but I'm sure now that three memories from as early as age 3 are in fact genuine memories. It was fun to then analyze these three memories as I believe they are my earliest genuine childhood memories.
The book led me to realize that I had always reversed two key memories chronologically. I remembered picking up a hammer with the handle cut short and wrapped in duct tape so I could use it to "help" with a remodeling project when I was 3 or 4 years old. To this day I can remember how the duct tape felt, the weight of the hammer, and the plywood floor. I also remember crying in the bathroom after hitting my thumb with that hammer and turning my thumbnail black and blue. It was only after carefully examining the memories that I realized these are genuine memories and the the memory of picking up the hammer was after I left the bathroom and went back to work.
I also appreciated the idea of getting to know other people by talking about childhood memories. I got lucky and married a wonderful woman even without this concept but what a great tool it would have been for dating. I plan to ask my son about his earliest childhood memories and see if they can give me insights into him now.
I wish there had been more about how to interpret the memories, which is the reason for my four stars under "story", but there was enough. I realize that every person and every situation is different so there is no clear way to interpret memories without knowing much more of a person's story and thus the author relied on stories to make his point. I've moved on to listen to the "First Born Advantage" now. I highly recommend this book and am planning to buy it for my son.
It felt like Dr. Leman was writing about me.
