Praise
‘Joanna Nadin invites us to sit back and enjoy the ride as she takes us on a whirlwind tour of the psychology of self. With stories from contemporary culture and literature to illuminate the way, this is an entertaining book with a serious message. You can choose your future self.’ – Stephen Joseph, professor, and author of Authentic: How to Be Yourself and Why It Matters
‘From a dystopian vision of an individualistic, self-absorbed, social media obsessed bunch of ’nobody’ selves, to a self-confident, connected and aware-of-our-place-within-nature ‘everybody’ self, this book explores possibilities for all our future selves via fun anecdotes and learned scholars. Thoroughly enjoyable.’ – Rachel Poulton, author of The Little Book of Philosophy
‘Everyone, whether they know it or not, has their own take on the self. Some of us prefer to hold onto the egocentric version but in Joanna Nadin’s new book The Future of the Self she challenges this view and offers a dazzling alternative. It is a fantastic vision and one that I wish teenagers would read as they navigate today’s minefield of personal identity.’ – Bruce Hood, author of The Self Illusion: Who Do You Think You Are?
