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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Berns\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of psychology at Emory University, where he directs the Center for Neuropolicy and Facility for Education \u0026amp; Research in Neuroscience.
