Download or read book The Ego Trick written by Julian Baggini and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you still the person who lived fifteen, ten or five years ago? Fifteen, ten or five minutes ago? Can you plan for your retirement if the you of thirty years hence is in some sense a different person? What and who is the real you? Does it remain constant over time and place, or is it something much more fragmented and fluid? Is it known to you, or are you as much a mystery to yourself as others are to you?With his usual wit, infectious curiosity and bracing scepticism, Julian Baggini sets out to answer these fundamental and unsettling questions. His fascinating quest draws on the history of philosophy, but also anthropology, sociology, psychology and neurology; he talks to theologians, priests, allegedly reincarnated Lamas, and delves into real-life cases of lost memory, personality disorders and personal transformation; and, candidly and engagingly, he describes his own experiences. After reading The Ego Trick, you will never see yourself in the same way again.

Book excerpt: Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it. Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls, the founders of Rolls-Royce, settled for nothing but perfection. The above quotation from Henry Royce still guides the brand to this day. And the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars publication is adorned with the first sentence of this guiding principle in large silver letters. The publication will bring together the brand s unique history, which spans more than a century, and modern-day developments. It will draw attention to the Spirit of Ecstasy. The 100th anniversary of the legendary figure, which graces the bonnet of every single Rolls-Royce ever made, served as the occasion for renowned British celebrity photographer Rankin to produce an enthralling 100-piece photo series. The images constitute artistic and often highly personal interpretations of the brand s iconic emblem. "
