Is authenticity a part of your everyday life? The word authenticity is used often in today's world, but we don't often have a good definition of what authenticity really means. Dr. James R. McCartney seeks to clear up the definition in his book "Authentic Being: Dynamic Creativity."

"Authenticity is the mother of all creativity and individuality," he said. "What really is authenticity, and what stands in the way of expressing a person's real self?"

In "Authentic Being," Dr. McCartney "compares existentialism to New Thought philosophies depicting authenticities as a way of life." According to Dr. McCartney, denying this authenticity is what causes many people to be unhappy or unfulfilled. When people can embrace their authentic selves, they can transform their lives into one of purpose.

"Many people will be surprised to learn that a large portion of our population shares the same problem of having experienced their own natural creative expression of dreams and aspirations hidden within," Dr. McCartney said.

Authenticity is key to living a fulfilled life, and having an understanding of the term from a philosophical point of view to find the freedom to be authentic. Dr. McCartney's clear explanations will enlighten people about the importance of being true to themselves and how to encourage authenticity in today's world.
