Are you still the person who lived fifteen, ten or five years ago?
Fifteen, ten or five minutes ago? Can you plan for your retirement
if the you of thirty years hence is in some sense a different
person? What and who is the real you? Does it remain constant over
time and place, or is it something much more fragmented and fluid?
Is it known to you, or are you as much a mystery to yourself as
others are to you?With his usual wit, infectious curiosity and
bracing scepticism, Julian Baggini sets out to answer these
fundamental and unsettling questions. His fascinating quest draws
on the history of philosophy, but also anthropology, sociology,
psychology and neurology; he talks to theologians, priests,
allegedly reincarnated Lamas, and delves into real-life cases of
lost memory, personality disorders and personal transformation;
and, candidly and engagingly, he describes his own experiences.
After reading The Ego Trick, you will never see yourself in the
same way again.
