"If you want to know me, then you must know my story, for my story defines who I am. And if I want to know myself, to gain insight into the meaning of my own life, then I too must come to know my own story." (Dan McAdams, The Stories We Live By,1993)

@naga I appreciated his narrative take on identity, but his attempt to bend this into developmental psychology was a bit too much… psychology. 😉
@drbjork I haven't thought of McAdams for a long time! I used one of his texts for teaching personality psych back when.
He also inspired me to play Yukio Mishima in a role-playing game, but that's a whole other story . . .
