@travismayo: Psychologist Dan McAdams discovered that you are not your experiences. You are the story you tell about them. He called it narrative identity. Your brain doesn't record your life like a camera. It curates it. Selects certain moments. Edits others. Connects them into a story with a shape. And the mind defends that story. New experiences don't update it. They get filtered through it. The prison most people are living inside isn't the past. It's the story about the past that the mind decided was true. #TravisMayo #learning #DanMcAdams #NarrativeIdentity #HiddenPsychology
Our brain evolved to be useful rather than truthful. Once you accept that, human history makes a lot more sense.
