What if everything orthodox psychology understands about selfhood is built on a critical epistemological illusion? In a challenge to Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and Kohut, the architect of Self Psychology, this multidisciplinary research argues that the ego—therapy’s dogmatic mediator—is not the reality tester, but the delusion maker. The ego is a pathological artifact of mirroring. Grounded in the lived reality of Panmodal Aphantasia (absence of mental representations across all modalities), this book proves that the self emerges even without reflection, autopoietically—...

How often you find yourself wanting to hide from the world? You feel like you are invisible and, to be frank, that would be better because you would get overwhelmed otherwise. Every time you try to be confident, you mess up. You speak fast and you want to leave the situation as soon as possible.

Combining the latest scientific research with storytelling and advice, Supercharge Your Brain reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in peak condition.
