What defines who we are? In a world where everything seems to change, "Emergent Selves by Mark M, Whelan" invites us to look at identity not as a static label but as a dynamic and evolving phenomenon. Inspired by the groundbreaking ideas in the book Emergent Selves, this podcast delves into complexity theory to explore how identity is a fluid mosaic of biology, experience, relationships, and time. Each episode takes you on a journey through how our choices reshape our lives, how social networks influence beliefs, and even why our bodies don’t age uniformly. Join us as we uncover the profound, ever-shifting nature of the self and what it means to embrace our complex identities in a modern, interconnected world.
