Explanation of the term ‘self’:

Explanation:

• The self, the "I" that is me, this is a story our brain tells itself. It is an illusion: something that is different than it appears to be.

• There is no such thing. The self doesn't exist beyond the narratives that our brains and societies create.
• These stories about selves are powerful and useful both evolutionarily and culturally, but there is no biological basis for them in the forms that we imagine them to exist.
