Your Symphony of Selves: Discover and Understand More of Who We Are offers groundbreaking insight into the dynamic nature of personality. James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber show that each of us consists of distinct, autonomous, and inherently valuable “selves”—and that honoring each of these selves is a key to improved ways of living, loving, and working.
They explore how the concept of healthy multiple selves has been supported in science, spirituality, art, and ancient traditions. Instead of seeing the existence of many selves as a flaw or pathology, the authors reveal that the healthiest people, mentally and emotionally, are those who have naturally learned to appreciate and work in harmony with their own symphony of selves.
