Identity and Ego: Who You Are Without the Story

By Dennis Lain

Are identity and ego the same or just closely connected?

In Identity and Ego: Who You Are Without the Story, Dennis Lain explores a quiet but powerful
distinction that sits beneath much of human struggle.

Identity is the story you've learned to live inside.
Ego is the inner mechanism that protects that story.
And awareness is what notices both.

Written in a calm, reflective style, this book does not ask you to eliminate ego, abandon identity,
or become someone else. Instead, it gently reveals how awareness naturally softens what no
longer needs defending without losing your personality, values, or faith.

This book is for readers who:
● Feel stuck defending who they believe they must be
● Are curious about awareness without spiritual dogma
● Want clarity without self-improvement pressure
● Are exploring identity, ego, and presence in a grounded, practical way

Part of the Greater Awareness series, this book invites you to notice what has always been
here before the story, during the story, and beyond it.

Nothing to fix.
Nothing to achieve.
Just something to see.
