It doesn't lead to the place that you want it to lead to.

And it causes a lot of harm to you and society.

Yeah.

Here's the important part about authenticity.

It is a process.

It's not a destination.

There's no such thing as you could put all the work you want in right now and you're like, I'm done.

That's not how it works.

Because a flourishing life is one where you grow and change and discover and all that stuff.

So even if you were 100% right right now, if you lock that in, you'd be inauthentic in the future.

So the things that people need to understand is, again, it's never too late.

This is what's amazing.

All the benefits of authenticity, the research shows, they accrue very quickly to you, no matter how old you are, no matter where you're starting from.

It's pretty amazing.

You just have to get started.

And here's the thing.

There's two things from my perspective.

The first is getting a handle on what you think you really believe.

There's a very simple step that I've used and I've shared and people have used and it's worked.

Ask yourself why on things you believe you believe.
