'AUTHENTICITY' is a special kind of self-help book. It combines the reflections of the great philosophers with the research findings of personality psychology and presents what I believe is a deeper and more spiritually satisfying approach to personal development than many of the texts available in the current Mind Body Soul market. It describes the kind of thinking and analysis that is necessary if you are to become reflective and insightful in approaching the bigger questions in your life. In addition, it provides a series of exercises and meditations to help you find and clarify what you need for your own emotional and spiritual growth, And, as a result, may equip you to lead a more meaningful, richer and fulfilling life. Authenticity involves a vibrant combination of the following five elements: Developing healthy self-worth, good decision making, a strong life purpose, nourishing relationships and reflective living. It is written in an accessible and readable manner.
