Being Authentic

Madeleine Roos and Johan Roos

Chapter 12 in Thinking from Within, 2006, pp 193-210 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The American 19th century author Ralph Waldo Emerson is known to have said that what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Thinking from Within implies that what is said and shown correspond to what is imagined and spontaneously done, which is a way to define authenticity. In metaphorical terms we are authentic when we ‘follow our heart’. As discussed in Chapter 1, we agree with David Whyte (1994) on the necessity to also take our inner self seriously at work and on the importance of making ‘the heart aroused’.
