It sounds a little like therapy-speak, but finding your authentic self, living authentically is just another way to say we’re ‘keeping it real’. Authenticity has always been highly valued in our societies, particularly for artists and creatives, but what about the rest of us? How do we live an authentic life, and make sure our actions are closely aligned with our values and personal beliefs. Nobody wants to be called a faker. Jung and Gandhi had plenty to say on this, and it was one of Shakespeare's recurring themes. In the words of Polonius to his son Laetres: “This above all else: To thine ownself be true.”
