But as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues in \u003ci\u003eThe Self Delusion\u003c\/i\u003e, we don't just tell stories; we \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e the stories. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new research in neuroscience, social science, and psychiatry, Berns shows how our stories and our self-identities are temporary and therefore ever changing. 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. Enlightening, empowering, and surprising, \u003ci\u003eThe Self Delusion\u003c\/i\u003e shows us how to be the protagonist of the stories we want to tell. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541602298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gregory Berns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42342801440949,"sku":"9781541602298","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9d25d422-7898-4910-a4aa-ae15c02025f6.jpg?v=1661263860","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-self-delusion-the-new-neuroscience-of-how-we-invent-and-reinvent-our-identities-9781541602298","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
