I don't know if I would say authenticity and true self are the same. People generally think if you're

acting good that you are being more true to yourself and if you are acting bad or corrupt, you're

being less true to yourself. That's inauthentic. If we are constantly moving the target,

gerrymandering the values and virtues, discovering parts of ourselves and then othering them and saying,

well, that's not

the real me. Are we missing all of these opportunities to actually make choices that solidify

the parts of ourselves that do feel the most me? What is true self? For me, true self is whole self.

Hey, welcome back to Personality Hacker Podcast. I'm Joel Mark Witt.

He's a podcaster, runs the Modern Wisdom podcast and YouTube channel.

asking ourselves this question. All right. So what we're going to do is we're going to read a thing

that he posted and it was written by him. I'm assuming. Okay. Because he posted it. Okay. So what we're going to do is we're going to read a thing that he posted, and it was written by him? I'm assuming, because he posted it. Okay. So we don't know that he wrote this, but it was on one of his social media accounts, and we're going to read it and then we're going to talk about it. Yeah. Does any of that matter? I mean, I guess that's important to have all that. to where we're at. Oh, so this is for you, not an audience. This is for me. So you know what's going on. Okay, yes, exactly.

Oh, okay.

Well, in that case, yes, that's what we're doing today.

That's what's happening today.

That's what's going on.

Okay, yes, exactly.
