What if the truth you remember... was never quite what happened?
In The Fragile Truth, psychologist Fay Jackson unpacks the fascinating, fallible nature of memory—and how it shapes who we are. Blending cognitive science with moving human stories, Jackson explores how memories are formed, rewritten, and sometimes invented, all in service of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
From childhood recollections to identity-defining moments, this book reveals how memory is less a record of the past and more a construction of the present—malleable, emotional, and deeply personal. Insightful and often surprising, The Fragile Truth challenges what we think we know about our own minds.
Our memories may be fragile—but their power is undeniable.
