    What Hacker News says

      "The Ego Trick" by Julian Baggini might be a bit more directly related to the subject at hand.

      Read Julian Baginni The Ego Trick. He examines the notion that our sense of self is false. The feeling that 'I' exist is wrong. Throughout life we are constantly re-adjusting ourselves. Our worldview changes. What is right or wrong changes depending on where we are standing, and when we are standing there.

      It's turtles all the way down.. 'The Ego Trick' by Julian Baginni is a good book on the subject (no pun intended).

      "... it is one thing to say, 'The self is an illusion' and quite another to confess, 'I am an illusion' ..." -- Charlie Heunemann in a review of the book The Ego Trick by Julian Baggini
