Fragmented Selves

How Everyone You Meet Meets a Different You

What if every person you've ever met has only known a version of you—never the whole?
This isn’t self-help. It’s self-discovery.
Fragmented Selves is a deep dive into the quiet truth we all live with but rarely name: we are not one person, but many. Shaped by context, filtered through emotion, and reflected in the eyes of others, our identity is constantly shifting—often without our permission.
In this book, Jake peels back the layers. With raw honesty and a philosophical edge, he explores the versions of self we become in friendship, family, conflict, grief, love, and survival. He unpacks the performances we didn’t know we were giving—and the people we became because of them.
This is for the overthinkers, the feelers, the wanderers who wonder:
"Do they really know me?"
And maybe more honestly,
"Do I?"
You won’t walk away with steps to fix yourself.
You’ll walk away with a mirror—and the courage to look into it.
