This volume explores how we, and others, develop our identities--our self-concepts. People develop their identities in various ways--sometimes thinking them through, sometimes accepting our ideas from authority _like parents or preachers--, sometimes using verifiable evidence, and sometimes from our mental illnesses. To understand how we think and how to solve the world's problems. While Volume I dealt with exploring the basic assumptions or how and why we think, this volume adds the reality of how we think about ourselves and how others think. The next volume will discuss a number of national and international problems and questions. The discussion of these problems cannot be thoroughly understood without understanding the various assumptions and identities of the participants of a discussion. Did your evidence come from QAnon, the Pope, or a scientist who is an authority on the subject? To think clearly, one must understand the most basic levels of human thinking. It's convenient to believe whatever sounds simple or popular with your friends. It's intelligent to base your thinking on the most verifiable facts. Should we really think--or just fake it?

About the Author
Dr. O'Connor is a native of Los Angeles--having grown up in the "ghetto" of South-Central LA. His parents had eighth grade educations. His father died when the author was eight years old. This forced the family onto the welfare rolls while his mother went to school to learn clerical skills.
Dr. O'Connor's university education was at UCLA where he earned a BS and Master's degree and did two years of doctoral level work. He then changed his major and his university, gaining his doctorate at the University of Southern California--in philosophical and social foundations of education.
His interest in travel led to living and teaching in New Zealand, India, Canada and the Netherlands, culminating in a twenty year residence in Norway.
His experience in various cultures has prompted many of the ideas and questions he presents in the book.
