However, through further research and investigations, psychologists have discovered that this apparent flaw in our minds has been a necessary part of our evolution. These biases help us make sense of the vast, complex world around us by simplifying the…

Grant utilizes an experiment performed by author A.J. Jacobs to demonstrate these negative effects. Jacob’s efforts at being “totally authentic” backfired…

evaluation of their past self includes more self-criticism than their evaluation of their present self and that their future self is evaluated even more positively than the present self (Kanten and Teigen, 2008; Grysman, A., Prabhakar, J., Anglin, S.

Identity develops throughout our lifetime and continually changes as we go through different experiences. A lot of our identity in our youth is shaped by those around us; they define certain identities for us and teach us how to interpret our experiences. Sometimes, people who influence us go the extent of telling us what our identity should be, even if we don’t necessarily agree.
