Our Sense of Self
Sources

​The main sources in this section were professor James Olthuis, Dr. Mark Williams, and Dr. Daniel Siegel. Olthuis was the most helpful in terms of the dynamics of our sense of self.

• Olthuis: The Beautiful Risk: A New Psychology of Loving and Being Loved
• Williams: Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World
• Siegel:
  1. ​​​The Neurobiology of 'We': How Relationships, the Mind, and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are
  2. Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation

The work of Robert Kegan looks very promising also. See The Evolving Self: Problem and Process in Human Development.

Professors George E. Atwood and Robert D. Stolorow are likely to be helpful sources too:
