The Importance of Authenticity in Happiness
In your book about happiness you make the argument that authenticity is an important foundation for a happy life. A central feature of personal authenticity is realness or genuineness. One is real if there is congruency between one's internal feelings and overt behaviors, even if such genuineness yields negative personal or social outcomes. When I was reading this section of your book, it occurred to me that one of the reasons I love so well so much,. is that so well is just so authentic.
