review 1: This is a very different book to the last book I read on authenticity which was The Authenticity Hoax and it has perhaps even a slightly unfamiliar understanding of what authenticity is. It is about finding your true Self rather than being your false self or your shadow and in doing so it is to be authentic rather than have authenticity. It is not the common excuse of being true to yourself and not doing anything about your life circumstances.In religious language we might say living to our personal calling,I found it helpful in a number of places particularly picking up a theme I've read in many places having a realistic view of yourself and yet loving and appreciating yourself.
review 2: I had to read through this one twice because there are so many good thin... moregs he brings up. I docked a star for the fact that this book makes you notice too many things about yourself you never focused on before; all things you've always noticed but usually avoided dwelling on. You will learn a lot; there are great tips and suggestions, such as writing yourself a letter, sealing it and having a trusted friend mail it to you at a time of their choosing. While you can read it in one setting, it's best not to, because he has exercises for you to go through and rushing through it may make you miss the point. It can fail into a love it/hate it book, but most readers will probably love it for what it brings out of them, and will hate it for the same reason. Definitely worth reading and keeping on your shelf to loan it to a friend for a few weeks/months. less
