You’re not the same person with your friends as you are with your co-workers or your kids. So who are you, really? This week, political scientist Eric Oliver explores why we often feel divided within ourselves, and how we can learn to live more peacefully with those contradictions.

Check out our new video on the surprising (and reassuring!) science of forgetting to learn more. Episode illustration by Eva Corbisier for Unsplash+ .
