Chapter 6 — Identity Layers

What This Chapter Is About

Identity is not one thing — it’s a stack of layers. Some layers are loud and obvious. Others are quiet and hidden. This chapter helps you see how your identity is built from the inside out.

Key Ideas

• You have multiple identity layers, not just one.
• Some layers are chosen; others are shaped by experience.
• Identity layers influence how you see yourself and how you respond to the world.
