{"product_id":"2940197206480","title":"YOUR IDENTITY IS A LIE (NOVA Sapiens Series: New Humanity, #1)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWho are you, really?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot your job title. Not the roles you play, the story you tell at parties, or the version of yourself your family decided on years ago. Underneath all of that - is there anything solid at all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychology has spent thirty years proving that a clear sense of self predicts a happier life. Ayna Utegalieva takes that research seriously - then asks the question it was never built to answer: clear about what, exactly, and held how tightly?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on psychology, neuroscience, and two thousand years of contemplative philosophy that arrived, independently, at the same uncomfortable conclusion, this book makes a sharp, disarmingly warm case: the self you have spent your life defending was never the fixed thing you were promised. It is a working draft. And the tighter you grip it, the more it costs you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross five parts, you will meet the labels you inherited before you were old enough to choose them, the narrator in your head that never quite stops narrating, and the well-documented, slightly uncomfortable fact that the people who survive life's hardest turns are not the ones with the most certainty. They are the ones who held their story loosely enough to let it be rewritten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a book about becoming someone new. It is a book about noticing you never had to be anyone in particular to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou do not need to know where it is going. You just need to get on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Ali Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48592857891057,"sku":"2940197206480","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/2940197206480_p0.jpg?v=1786976514","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940197206480","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
