"Understanding the Self attempts to assist students in answering basic riddles that confound the self such as Who am I? and What am I doing here? With this in mind, this material presents a wide range of topics under these themes – the self from various perspectives, deconstructing or unpacking the self, and managing and caring for the self. This material emphasizes that understanding the self is a multidisciplinary approach and endeavor, and that no discipline supersedes other disciplines in comprehending the self. Through the discussions and learning activities in this textbook, it is hoped that students discover and/or reinforce their understanding of their selves so as to define their purpose in life and act accordingly."--Back cover.
