The Days I Can’t Leave Behind

A Memoir of Living with Total Recall

by Bailey Gwyn

This is the story of a mind that never stops recording. From first moments on earth to the most recent dreams, Bailey remembers — in vivid, unshakable detail — everything. It’s called hyperthymesia, Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, and it means living with total recall of every day, every conversation, every dream as if they happened seconds ago.
