Tales of the Invented Self

How many times do we perform without knowing we’re performing?

How many ways does the ego have to disguise itself as who we think we are?

This book gathers sixteen short stories, two for each corner where the ego hides: the victim, the controller, the perfectionist, the strong one, the one who knows, the pleaser, the judge, and the spiritual one. These are the same masks explored in A Void Full of Meaning, though they are certainly not the only ones.

Through dramatic, moving, or subtly revealing scenes, each story invites us to look beyond the mask, without the need for formulas, dogmas, or ready-made answers.

It is a read for those who sense that something truer lives within us, even if buried under layers of habit, fear, or the need for approval.

Stories of the Invented Self does not aim to teach anything. Only to point to the reflections of what we are… when we stop performing.
