Search for Identity

Jean Jacques Rousseau's autobiography Confessions delves into his journey towards self-discovery, emphasising the importance of confronting uncomfortable truths rather than presenting a facade to please others. By exploring both positive and negative emotions, one can peel back layers of falsehood to reveal their true self. This process, akin to the Upanishads concept of Neti Neti, involves rejecting false identities to uncover authentic essence.
