#55 – Do you become someone else when you read? (The Experience Taking)

Have you ever wanted to run a marathon right after finishing a novel... even though you hate sports?

In this first installment of the “The Self is a Fiction” saga, Alice and Marc explore the fascinating phenomenon of Experience Taking. Discover why immersive reading is not mere observation, but a true dissolution of identity.

Unlike simple “Perspective Taking” (conscious empathy), learn how your brain temporarily “turns off” your own personality to viscerally simulate that of the protagonist. From influencing your voting choices to unconsciously reducing prejudice, discover why stepping into a character's shoes changes your biological reality.

Reading isn't just escapism. It's becoming.
