This is a review of The Self Delusion by Gregory Berns. Berns challenges fundamental assumptions about personal identity and free will through cutting-edge neuroscience research. Drawing on brain imaging studies and split-brain research, neuroscientist Berns reveals how our sense of unified selfhood is largely a neurological illusion. Memory rewrites personal history, decisions begin unconsciously, and identity shifts with social context. This scientific exploration examines implications for criminal justice, mental health treatment, and personal development, questioning fundamental assumptions about consciousness and responsibility. Best suited for readers comfortable with scientific complexity and philosophical ambiguity. Independent, unaffiliated—informational only, not a substitute for the book.
