How to Live Authentically

We all crave authentic and genuine interactions. But is that what we actually give to others? Many times we think we’re being genuine when we’re actually overthinking a conversation to ensure that the person we’re talking with likes us.

She is also the author of Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Lives Happily Ever After.
