You've tried. You've read the books, done the courses, woken up at 4 AM like a pale-faced Victorian factory owner and journaled your intentions into a leather-bound notebook. And yet you're still the same you, still caught in the same patterns. The good news: you're probably not broken. You've just been aiming at the wrong target for years. In this chapter, Mark and Drew open the question that runs through the whole episode (can people actually change?) by tracing it back to a young Gordon Allport getting humiliated in Sigmund Freud's office, the philosophical war that started between them, and the three-layer model of identity that finally resolves it.
