Then somewhere around the time we first recognize ourselves in a mirror, a new thing is born: the I. In this short episode, we trace that I back to where it started and ask a strange question, is it even real? Because almost every problem you have ever had has that same I sitting right at the center of it. Pull up a chair, test the truth for yourself, and let's see what happens when we get to the root of who or what that I really is.
