Hi I'm working on a new web page on this topic....
I'm looking for people's opinions from a Christian perspective....
Usually people have two main sides to their self:
The Bible talks about the heart, mind, soul, and strength.... maybe the left-brain could be called the "mind" and the right-brain is the "heart" (and an intuitive mind)?
Though often they'd work together they can be completely separated....
e.g.
About "self-control":
Self-control - Wikipedia
Ego depletion - Wikipedia
What about other selves that are involved in Christians? There would be the sinful self, the new man or Holy Spirit within us? Those sides could be considered part of our self (the "new" self?)
There's also the ideas of Freud:
Id, ego and super-ego - Wikipedia
There is a lot more to this.... "demon possession" is also relevant....

Ego depletion - Wikipedia
Ego depletion refers to the idea that self-control or willpower draws upon a limited pool of mental resources that can be used up (with the word "ego" used in the psychoanalytic sense rather than the colloquial sense)

There's also the ideas of Freud:
Id, ego and super-ego - Wikipedia
the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual desires; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic agent that mediates, between the instinctual desires of the id and the critical super-ego
