Why Your Brain Won't Let You Forget the Past

You replay it over and over. A conversation, a decision, a moment you can't undo. And no matter how hard you try to move on, your brain keeps pulling it back. The reason why is far older — and far stranger — than you think. In this video, you'll discover why your mind is wired to ruminate, what Harvard researchers found about where your thoughts actually go, why memory researcher Elizabeth Loftus proved the past you torture yourself with isn't even real, and what neuroscience says you can do the moment the loop starts again. This isn't a self-help video. It's the science of why you are the way you are.
