"Who are you?"

This question was asked of me by a self realization book I was trying to grasp at too early an age. I don't even remember the name of the book. All I remember is that it stumped me, and that question has stuck with me for many years.

...you're not how much money you've got in the bank. You're not your job. You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself.... You're not your name.... You're not your problems.... You're not your age.... You are not your hopes. ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 18
The point was not to answer the question based on the trivial and obvious, but to really look introspectively for a solid answer.
I still haven't been able to come up with a sound answer for myself.
(but I am working on it...)
Do you know who you are?
