The Self Delusion: The New Neuroscience of How We Invent--And Reinvent--Our Identities Berns Gregory
A New York Times-bestselling author reveals how the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, are critical to our livesWe all know we tell stories about ourselves. Our self-identities are fleeting phenomena, continually reborn as our conscious minds receive, filter, or act on incoming information from the world and our memories.Drawing on new research in neuroscience, social science, and psychiatry, Berns shows how our stories and our self-identities are temporary and therefore ever changing. But as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues in The Self Delusion, we don't just tell stories; we are the stories.
Enlightening, empowering, Berns shows how we can embrace the delusion of a singular self to make our lives better, offering a plan not centered on what we think will be best for us, but predicated on minimizing regrets.
