The Cognitive Framework Model: How the Building Blocks of Our Identity Form Our Subjective Reality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963092073)

From Charles R.W. Sears, whose work on consciousness has been reviewed by experts across neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and philosophy around the world, comes a practical framework for understanding and rebuilding identity.

The Cognitive Framework Model reveals the hidden architecture of belief. Every decision you make, every value you cherish, and every behavior you repeat stems from a mental structure built observation by observation throughout your life. Most people never examine this structure. They accept their framework as reality itself, unaware that false correlations formed in childhood, cognitive biases reinforced by social pressure, and unresolved cognitive dissonance are quietly undermining their relationships, careers, and well-being.

This book shows you how to see it and how to rebuild it. Inside, you'll discover:

• How observations cluster into correlations, conclusions, and finally the values that drive your behavior
• Why System 1 (automatic) thinking runs your life on outdated programming-and how to engage System 2 (reflective) thinking to repair flawed beliefs
• The specific ways early experiences, social contexts, and cognitive biases create false conclusions that can persist for decades
• Practical techniques that help you trace beliefs to their origins and consciously reshape them

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, this model bridges fragmented theories of identity into one integrated system. Whether you're a mental health professional seeking comprehensive frameworks for identity-related issues, or someone navigating imposter syndrome, relationship patterns, or chronic misunderstanding, this book provides both diagnostic insight and reconstruction methods.

Your identity isn't fixed. It's a structure built from experience, and it can be intentionally remodeled.
