Wilson Redirect

In Redirect (2011), Timothy D. Wilson argues that our unconscious “narratives”—the stories we tell ourselves — shape how we see the world and our sense of identity. These narratives often leave us feeling unhealthy or unhappy. Wilson introduces a method called “story editing”, which allows us to quickly and effectively reshape these interpretations without the need for lengthy therapy sessions. However, the book offers little explanation as to why these narratives hold such power in shaping our self-perception.
