Description

This book explores why it can be hard for us to be authentic – the familial, cultural, and  personal influences, thoughts, and fears that make it difficult for us to do and say what is true for us, or lead us to believe that who we are is not  acceptable enough.  The book then presents simple yet effective ways to exercise the power of authenticity in our relationships, work, and life.  The ideas, principles, and practices laid out in this book give you specific techniques which allow you to:

• Express yourself fully and with confidence
• Confront and transform fear
• Deal with conflicts directly and effectively
• Take risks and go for what you truly want
• Have more freedom and confidence in your work, your relationships, and your life

The book is filled with action items, ideas, and suggested exercises and practices.

Mike offers five powerful principles of authenticity and  then provides action plans, exercises, resources, and anecdotes that demonstrate how to apply these principles on a daily basis in life. Written for people who want to improve their lives, their work, and their relationships, the book is brimming with inspiration and practical help.
