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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Berns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541602293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541602298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.25w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 154","brand":"Gregory Berns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073758359807,"sku":"9781541602298","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8df11c8-e06c-480d-80de-b44cf283dce5.jpg?v=1685449727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-self-delusion-gregory-berns-9781541602298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
