Book excerpt: "The Greek Gods Among Us" bridges Evolutionary Psychology with Greek mythology, showing how to recognize our multiple selves through the matrix of the Greek gods. In this provocative book, Michael Mahana offers an alternative to seeing life through the lens of Ego/Id or Self/Unconscious, a paradigm from monotheism that has us locked in selfishness and loneliness. Instead of working on your Self--a self that Evolutionary Psychology says does not exist--you can develop 17 distinct personas to help you make the most of any life situation. Michael graduated from Williams College, was a Doctoral Fellow in Comparative Literature at New York University, and has a Masters Degree in Anthropology from Hunter College, where he won the award for Excellence in Cultural Anthropology. He has written four books with Greek gods themes and writes a blog called 'The Oracle of Chelsi'. Michael is currently working on a book entitled 'Befriending the Greek gods, our multiple selves' which explores Greek ritual tradition as a means of relating to our various mental states and capacities--our multiple selves.
