Overview

Neuroscience and philosophy agree: the ""self"" you know is an illusion. Your brain constructs a cohesive identity from fragments of memory, perception, and storytelling, but beneath the surface, there is no central ""you."" This groundbreaking book explores the startling truth behind consciousness, weaving together cutting-edge research and ancient wisdom. Discover how split-brain patients reveal two minds in one body, why psychedelics and meditation dissolve the ego, and whether AI could ever experience a sense of self. Through gripping case studies, from amnesiacs who rebuild their identities to machines that think they're conscious, you'll see how your brain crafts the fiction of ""you"" moment by moment. What happens when we let go of the illusion? Can there be free will without a self? And if identity is fluid, who-or what-will you become tomorrow? Provocative, enlightening, and deeply transformative, this book doesn't just challenge your assumptions; it dissolves them. You are not a thing. You are a process. And that changes everything.
