Is the Self an Illusion?

Are you the author of your thoughts or just their witness? Do we simply watch our thoughts like we watch unfolding dream plots? What if the most familiar thing you experience — yourself — isn’t really there? If that’s the case, why does the experience of the self feel so solid that it often takes a lifetime to notice something strange? Why would evolution invent the feeling of a self at all? Join Eagleman with philosopher & neuroscientist Sam Harris as they explore the self, meditation, dreams, movies, and much more. ~~ Don't forget to subscribe ~~ Inner Cosmos podcast: 🍎 APPLE PODCASTS - https://apple.co/3LTxTkH ❤️ iHeartRadio » https://ihr.fm/3TxDAqb 📢 AMAZON MUSIC » https://amzn.to/3ZxGM6R 🟢 SPOTIFY » https://spoti.fi/3lOaXZl X » http://bit.ly/3Y9JFdb INSTAGRAM » http://bit.ly/3Y5eAY3 FACEBOOK » http://bit.ly/3kAhVk4 Neuroscientist and author David Eagleman discusses how our brain interprets the world and what that means for us.
