Our brain is a storyteller, not a reporter from an inner world

You need to first prove you have a personality, before you can compare and contrast and label something distinct to it.

So already we are an order of magnitude more complex from even arriving at any sort of conclusion about "personality". We actually have very little idea as to what it actually is, how it's influence, etc.

The Indic traditions, imo, provide far greater insight into the processes of the mind than the current sciences do.

The author hasn't really proved his argument, so I'm not too worried about where my lived experience stands in regards to his thesis.

edit: wait, are you trying to say we don't have personality, full stop?
