Synopsis

From Dr. David Posen, the bestselling author of Is Work Killing You? and The Little Book of Stress Relief, comes a book about listening to your body, understanding your mind, and making better choices in your life.For over thirty years, Dr. David Posen has counselled patients suffering from severe stress, anxiety, and depression. Over that time, he noticed a pattern. As our lives have become faster and increasingly fragmented, many of us have become disconnected from our true selves. Using a holistic approach that combines elements of physiology, psychology, and philosophy, Authenticity teaches readers to acknowledge and accept their true selves in order to make better and more informed life choices. Drawing on real-life examples from his experience in stress management, Dr. Posen has identified five common sources of conflict: personality traits, time and speed, sleep, values, and passions. For each of these areas, the solution is surprisingly simple. We must learn to live in a way that is authentic and true to our unique selves; we must live in harmony with who we truly are.

I Don’t Know What It Has To Do With Authenticity I enjoyed the section on introverts and extroverts. It was satisfying to see myself represented on the page. To finally realize I am normal. I’m an introvert in an extroverted family, and always felt like the black sheep. Now I understand why. This boo......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on September 16, 2021

While this book didn't live up to my expectations (as self-help books usually don't), it touched on many interesting topics and gave practical advice for challenges such as getting more sleep, defining your values, and more. Most of Dr. Posen's claims were backed by psychology and science but still......more
