Inquiry to Self #3 – Dan P. McAdams: The Stories We Live By: Personal Myths and the Making of the Self

Dan P. McAdams is a psychologist known for his contribution to the field of narrative psychology, a field of psychology which concerns itself with the psychological value of stories in constructing our existence.  

In this work, McAdams examines how we construct our identity through a personal story, a narrative, to create a sense of self. We will examine how this story is created and how it might be constructed to close our inquiry to self.
