Ep160 "Do You Really Have a Self?" with Sam Harris
Podcast: Inner Cosmos with David EaglemanPublished On: Mon Jun 29 2026
Description: re you the author of your thoughts or just their witness? Do we simply watch our thoughts like we watch unfolding dream plots? What if the most familiar thing you experience — yourself — isn’t really there? If that’s the case, why does the experience of the self feel so solid that it often takes a lifetime to notice something strange? Why would evolution invent the feeling of a self at all? Join Eagleman with philosopher & neuroscientist Sam Harris as they explore the self, meditation, dreams, movies, and much more.
