Losing Ourselves by Jay L. Garfield
Learning to Live Without a Self
In this thought-provoking exploration, the author delves into the philosophical concept of selfhood, challenging the traditional Western notion of a singular, autonomous self. Drawing from a rich tapestry of Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhist teachings, the narrative invites readers to reconsider the nature of identity and the illusion of a permanent self. Through a blend of scholarly insight and accessible prose, the book encourages a deeper understanding of how our perceptions of self can shape our experiences, relationships, and overall sense of well-being, ultimately advocating for a more interconnected and compassionate worldview.
