Episode notes

The Great Courses series Behavioral Economics is celebrating its 25th anniversary. You can get 80% off of the original price by going to the great courses.com slash smart. But you have to do this now, it's a limited time. Bruce Hood will be talking about his book The Self Illusion and how materialism and dualism are being explored by science.

Is the person you believe to be the protagonist of your life story real or a fictional character? In other words, is your very self real or is it an illusion? According to psychologist Bruce Hood, the person at the center of your life isn't really there; it's all neurological smoke and mirrors. Sure, you have the sensation that you have a self, and that sensation is real, but the beliefs and ideas that spring from it are not. Learn all about it in this episode in which you'll hear some new material mixed with a rebroadcast of episode four's interview with the author of The Self Illusion, Bruce Hood.
