À propos de cet audio

A New York Times-bestselling author reveals how the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, are critical to our lives

We all know we tell stories about ourselves. But as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues in The Self Delusion, we don’t just tell stories; 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 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, The Self Delusion shows us how to be the protagonist of the stories we want to tell.

The ideas go as deep as “because you see yourself as a mirror image when you look at your reflection, you see yourself differently than everyone else sees you”. Well, great, but that’s pretty irrelevant, at least to me. The first 8 min fall short of any insight into one’s psyche. I found it too simplistic to listen to. The narrator reads in the quintessential audio book voice, makes me feel as if I am listening to a 1950s nature documentary.
