Summary:

Although a focus on oneself has clear adaptive functions - such as physical preservation, decision making, planning, and self-regulation - this pervasive egoic mindset has psychological, interpersonal, and societal costs. Many advocate for a "hypo-egoic" way of being, a psychological mindset characterized by less self-preoccupation in favor of a more inclusive, "we first" mode of functioning. Bringing together current scholarship and science from multiple fields, the Oxford Handbook of Hypo-egoic Phenomena provides an authoritative overview of theory, research, and applications concerning psychological states that involve diminished self-preoccupation and self-interest.
