Read the [Satipattana Sutta](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/soma/wayof.html) and the [Anatta Lakkhana Sutta](http://www.themindingcentre.org/dharmafarer/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1.2-Anatta-Lakkhana-S-s22.59-piya-proto.pdf) and do [Satipattana meditation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpzurcpIDeY). Examine the things you consider to be the self and see if they are worth taking as a self. As for the inner self, examine if there's anything inside you that is worth considering as a self.
