  • The narrating self retrieves memories, tells stories, and makes big decisions. It discounts the duration of our experiences, and adopts the [[peak end rule]] - it remembers only the peak moment and the end moment and evaluates the whole experience according to their average. Most of our critical life choices - careers, residences, holidays, partners - are taken by our narrating self.
