A great book on this topic is Consciousness and the Brain ( https://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-Brain-Deciphering-Codes... )
It really shows how a lot of who we are is unconscious and happening without us being aware.

> The main thesis of the book is that we are very often not aware of our real reasons for most of our behaviours. Our behaviors are optimised for living in a social group and very often, from the point of view of natural selection, it is useful if we are not consciously aware of our real motivations. [1]
