Authenticity
Captions available
The idea
Michael Kernis and Brian Goldman's work on authenticity links a stable, coherent identity to actions that align with one's values and feel self-endorsed.
In practice
Someone performing a role they did not choose for years, and becoming unclear about who they are.
Where people slip
The book's reading: acting inauthentically for long enough does not only make a person unhappy; it erodes their sense of self.
