On an individual basis I have found manipulating memories to be an effective way to change my daily behavior.

Perhaps manipulation is a harsh word, maybe better phrasing would be “I cherry pick which memories to focus on.” As I don’t believe we should lie to ourselves. But the ability to alter your memories in order to improve your present and ensure your future is a powerful concept once understood.

I have only just stumbled upon the concept, so I was happy to read this essay expanding upon the idea.

Great read Jessica, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Do I sense a call to action for Millennials?
