Is the self an illusion?

After reading on the subject it seems that a lot of philosophers think that the self is an illusion like Daniel Dennet, Sam Harris, Patricia Churchland etc. Do most philosophers agree that the self is an illusion? The idea of not having a self is deeply disturbing to me.

It's very rare for any philosopher these days to say that X, be it the self or whatever, is an illusion and leave it at that. 

This isn't the case, for example, of what Dennett or Churchland say about the self. Rather, their views are that some of our folk psychological understanding of the self might simply be false under a more neuroscientific image of the self, or something like that. It's a better idea to read their work to understand first the view of the self that they believe is problematic, the reasons give for why it's so, and how we should conceive of the self in its place.
