Fall Author Series - Brian Lowery

Brian Lowery is The Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior. He received his doctorate in social psychology from UCLA in 2001, and has been on faculty at Stanford since 2002.

In Selfless, Brian Lowery argues for the radical idea that the "self" as we know it — that "voice in your head" — is a social construct, created in our relationships and social interactions. By recognizing that we are products of relationships — from fleeting transactions to deep associations — we shatter the myth of individualism and free ourselves to make our lives and the world accordingly.
