Self Identity

There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are.

The Self You Build is not a motivational pep talk. It’s a deeply reflective exploration of how identity is formed—not through revelation or vision boards—but through small, repeatable acts in the middle of ordinary days.

Instead, it suggests that the person you become is forged in unglamorous moments—when no one’s watching, when you’re tired, when the ...
