From the Paper:

"One of the most fascinating questions that we all focus on at various stages in our lives is the definition of who we are. We express this in many different ways - during deep discussions with friends, for example, but also as a function of our everyday actions, and the choices we make, both large and small. It is accurate to say that who we are - personal identity - is present very early in life, but it gets stronger and more distinct as life goes on. In some ways, personal identity may also develop as life goes on, changing and going in different directions."
