Barbara, I was just reading about authenticity yesterday in Adam Phillips’ book On Balance. Fascinating his inference that there are multiple authenticities to be considered! There is a yin to the yang, as it were. The childlike base we love is composed not only of innocence, but of a darker side as well.
Susa, I don’t know that book, but will check it out. Thanks for commenting!
