We all know that we tell stories about ourselves, but as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues, we are 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. Drawing on new research, Berns shows how we can embrace the delusion of a singular self to make our lives better, offering a plan centered on minimizing our regrets.
