The Deferred Self

"The Deferred Self" explores how modern life, despite offering unprecedented choices, often leads us to postpone truly living through constant planning and self-curation. Drawing on existentialist ideas, the book examines how contemporary digital identities and social interactions reflect age-old questions about freedom, responsibility, and authenticity. Written for a general audience, it offers insights into embracing a genuine, present, and vulnerable sense of self in the twenty-first century.
