Understanding the Self is an outcome-based workbook designed to help students explore and reflect on their personal identity from various perspectives—philosophical, psychological, sociological, and cultural. Co-authored by Silverius Ega Degho and others, the book emphasizes self-awareness, self-development, and the role of society in shaping the individual.

Through a mix of theories, real-life examples, and interactive activities, the book guides learners in understanding how self-concept is formed and how it evolves. It also promotes critical thinking and personal growth, making it a valuable tool for college-level general education in the Philippines.
