The Ego Trick by baggini-julian
What Does It Mean To Be You?
A clear, accessible exploration of what we mean by the self, arguing that the sense of a single, persistent “I” is not a simple given but a constructed bundle of mental processes, memories, attitudes and social roles; the book surveys philosophical arguments and neuroscientific findings (including split-brain cases and memory-based thought experiments) to show how personal identity depends on continuity and narrative rather than an indivisible soul, and it considers the ethical and practical consequences of seeing the self as fluid and emergent rather than fixed.
