About this audiobook

Discover why the search for your authentic self is an impossible quest built on misunderstanding. This mind-bending exploration reveals how identity is constantly changing and context-dependent rather than something hidden waiting to be discovered. Learn why the self-help industry profits from this misconception, keeping you endlessly searching rather than living. Understand how accepting your fluid, constructed nature leads to genuine freedom rather than the exhausting pursuit of a fixed self that doesn't exist. Explore Buddhist concepts of no-self, modern psychological research on identity formation, and why trying to find yourself paradoxically keeps you lost. Discover how embracing change, contradiction, and complexity creates authentic living rather than conforming to some idealized version of yourself you're supposed to uncover through expensive retreats and therapy.
