The Authenticity Paradox | Andrew Lee | TEDxLawrencevilleSchool Padres Game Today [pCC62TfIFE3]

What is "embracing authenticity"? According to Andrew Lee, we've greatly misunderstood the answer to this question. Lee draws on research from organizational behavior professor Herminia Ibarra nancy mace as well as Buddhist thought to demonstrate that the self in itself is an ever-changing entity. What it means to embrace oneself authentically will vary at each stage or even each moment of one's life. The struggle to embrace authenticity is lifelong. pierce brosnan Andrew Lee is a Junior at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey.
