The Messy Self challenges the idea and the ideal of a coherent, harmonious self. Taken together, the essays illustrate how a flourishing self is inevitably divided, ambivalent, fractured, messy and how the self triumphs through disorder. Written in accessible language by awardwinning writers and scholars, the book offers a diversity of perspectives on the complexities of the self. With chapters on creativity, love, selfunderstanding, selfdeception, identity, responsibility, and wellbeing, The Messy Self gives a range of voices to the ordinary and extraordinary divisions, fragmentations, and uncertainties that mark our everyday experience.
