Is there a real you?

Happened across this fascinating talk about whether there is a real 'you', that is the essence of yourself, fixed, unchanging. The speaker suggests not.

He suggests instead that we should not think of ourselves as 'things' that do not change, but as 'processes' that are in constant flux, like a waterfall, that clearly is, but is also clearly never the same.

I wanted to share it with you, so here it is: Julian Baggini on TED
