David Frum: If we know the self as an illusion, then what is it that we're actually noticing in their message? He says there's a lot of variance even with genetically identical individuals. And I explore this to some extent in the book talking about the differences between concepts of self in the Far East and in the West. But here's an interesting fact - if you try that same test with children from the East, they're much better.
In this episode we discuss the self and interview Bruce Hood, author of "The Self Illusion." Also, at the end, we eat a chewy chocolate chip cookie and discuss therapeutic touch.
