| | Available May 1: Murray Stein's Map of the Soul - Ego: I Am
In this third book in the series, Murray Stein explores the beginnings of consciousness and the concept of the "I," as well as the evocative lyrics from the Korean Pop band BTS’s album, Map of the Soul: 7. BTS’s album series titled Map of the Soul was largely inspired by Stein’s presentation of C.G. Jung’s groundbreaking psychological insights.
Ego is the center of consciousness. Yet, “ego can separate itself from the body, and then become a virtual reality in its own right.” This book is an overview of the ego from a Jungian perspective but also is a rich and nuanced examination of how the creative spark can ignite and sustain meaningful psychological growth.
The author and collaborators are deeply indebted to BTS, whose world-wide popularity points to their remarkable ability to tap into universal themes. BTS’s music inspired this work and this introductory series of books may inspire others to explore their inner life.

What is our persona and how does it affect our life’s journey? What masks do we wear as we engage those around us? Our persona is ultimately how we relate to the world. Combined with our ego, shadow, anima and other intra-psychic elements it creates an internal map of the soul.
