If you could have the ability to remember the details of every single day of most of your life, would you want to? Recalling every conversation, adventure, misadventure, the weather and the day’s current events on a whim might seem cool at first, but do you think it would it eventually become a burden?
My guest today is Frank Healy. He’s one of about 100 people in the world who can recall every day of his life in vivid detail since he was six years old.
He’s spent his career helping people become the best version of themselves and written several books on the topic of memories and how we can not only heal from, but also triumph over our past traumas to live our best life.
