The service that wants you to get the most at your screen time is called scribbed. If you sign up for the service, you get access to millions of e books, audio books, magazines and pod casts. There's just no credits in this thing. You just pay your things andyou get access to everything. The best time to plan a tree is now. I truly believe in the power of therapy. Now, le onder, and now we take a break. O programme for a word from our sponsors.

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Julia Shaw, the author of The Memory Illusion.

Julia is famous among psychologists because she was able to implant false memories into a group of subjects and convince 70 percent of them that they were guilty of a crime they did not commit, and she did so by using the sort of sloppy interrogation techniques that some police departments have been truly been guilty of using in the past.

From her book’s website: “In The Memory Illusion, Dr Julia Shaw uses the latest research to show the astonishing variety of ways in which our memory can indeed be led astray. Fascinating and unnerving in equal measure, the international bestseller The Memory Illusion has been translated into 20 languages and offers a unique insight into the human brain, challenging you to question how much you can ever truly know about yourself.”
