About the book: 2024 / We all know something about ourselves. However, as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Burns explains, we don't just tell stories, we are the stories. Our self-perception is not a frozen monolith - it is constantly reborn and rebuilt as our consciousness receives, filters and turns information coming from both the external world and our memory into motivation for further action. The author demonstrates the fluidity and changeability of our stories and our identities and shows how awareness of the illusory nature of a single, integral “I” can be turned to our advantage.
