Special Series: My Former Selves

Resonate? Speak to you? Hit home? Tell us.What if the "you" you think you are is just an edited highlight reel of 1-5% of your actual life experience? This episode explores TheProfessor's radical teaching about the nature of self and identity. Discover why your direct experience of being you is constant, but the conceptual "myself" you've constructed is actually a series of former selves you've shed like snake skin. Learn how behavior can persist even when it's now "under new management" of a completely different internal reality and how understanding your former selves can free you from carrying the burden of actions taken by a self that no longer exists. A profound challenge to everything you think you know about personal identity and continuity.Podcast Companion to Your Assumptions Challenged by TheProfessor L. Fontaine, edited by Nicole King
