Reseña del libro "Forgetting as a Skill (en Inglés)"

This book reframes forgetting not as memory's failure but as a deliberate, trainable capacity essential to how minds, institutions, and societies function well. It opens by defining "skilled forgetting" and tracing its philosophical roots - from Plato's view of forgetting as loss to Nietzsche's case for active forgetting as necessary for present action, alongside Buddhist and communal traditions that treat release as virtuous. The psychology and neuroscience chapters cover the forgetting curve, motivated suppression, and sleep's role in pruning memory, while a chapter on memory architecture shows that working and long-term memory are designed to forget selectively, not to archive everything. Subsequent chapters apply this lens across domains: education (spaced repetition, unlearning misconceptions), creativity (editing and forgetting prior influences as generative acts), technology (the right to be forgotten, catastrophic forgetting in AI, machine unlearning), and organizations (institutional debt from failing to retire outdated processes).
