When You say "I" What do You mean?: The Gift of Self-Inquiry

By Michael Patrick

Who are you, really?
Not your name.
Not your job.
Not even the voice in your head.

When You Say "I," What Do You Mean? is a gentle, eye-opening invitation to explore the mystery behind the word we use all day long-I. Through simple reflections, curious questions, and calming self-inquiry practices, this book helps you slow down and notice something most people never stop to ask:

What exactly am I referring to when I say "I"?

In a voice that's kind, clear, and never preachy, author Michael Patrick offers an approachable introduction to timeless topics like awareness, ego, and consciousness-without the spiritual jargon. You don't need to meditate on a mountain. You don't need to believe anything. You just need to be curious.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

What the ego really is (and why it's not your enemy)

How thoughts and labels shape your identity-and how to loosen their grip

Why awareness is not something you gain, but something you already are

Gentle practices to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what's real

Perfect for beginners, skeptics, and anyone quietly wondering if there's more to life than performance and pressure, this book is not about becoming something new-it's about remembering who you were before all the noise.

You are not a problem to solve.
You are the awareness that's always been here.
Let's find out what's behind the word "I"... together.
