A Fun Book Presentation

How does our memory actually work? Why do we remember some things forever, while others slip away after just a few seconds? And – most importantly – how can we improve our memory?

Join us for an engaging event where Nik Škrlec will present the key insights from his debut book Forget Everything You Know About Memory. The book is a popular-science exploration of memory, combining the latest psychological findings with practical tips for entering the world of memory techniques. The event is also a great opportunity to connect with others and broaden your horizons. Nik has prepared some surprises to make the evening truly unforgettable!

In his talk, Nik will share perspectives from his profession – where accurate memory is essential – as well as from his memory feats and studies in the field. These insights are sure to change the way you think about memory and help you, whether you are a student, at university, at work, or proudly retired. We use and strengthen memory all the time. It’s astonishing. It is with us at work, in school, during leisure, and even when we sleep. It’s connected to our identity, self-image, creativity, and learning success. It pays to understand it and know how to use it.
