Time for AUTHENTICITY

Time for authenticity. On freedom in business and elsewhere!

• They are perfect.
• Unique.
• They don’t encounter difficult issues, challenges or bad times.
• Why do some of us claim that their lives are full of neverending success, and all of their experiences are wonderful?
• Does it make you weak to admit that you have weaknesses?
• I believe in truth.
• I believe in authenticity.
• I believe in being yourself.
• Not everyone acts like this, though… Why aren’t we authentic?
• Read ‘Time for Authenticity’ and find out.
• This book is a reflection of how its author has been feeling like since many years.

I’m terrified when ‘just a little bit public’, or, let’s say, ‘kind of recognizable’ people present themselves only in a good light. It is a reflection of how she is bothered by idealized reality: the one that surrounds us in magazines, on television and online.

• Is it authentic there?

• It’s not about fixing the world.
• The author does not intend to propagate her beliefs or to tell you how to lead your life.
• This book is about a freaking difficult issue.
• It’s about the truth.
• It’s about the courage to be yourself.

And, consequently, what is the purpose of this book? It will make you realize why it feels so bad to meet other people’s expectations while forgetting what really matters to you.

• If you are not ready for it, let it go and leave this book where you found it.

It is a collection of thoughts, opinions, conclusions and experiences which will show you how hard it is to be true to yourself, or even how hard it is to have courage…to be authentic. Because being an authentic person has consequences… If there is one person on this planet who will open to authenticity after reading this book, it will mean it was worth writing it.

• We hope you will let yourself be who you are and live the way you want to live.
• Because you have the full right to do so!

Throughout this book you will meet extraordinary Heros and Heroins: Krystyna Mazurówna, Alex Barszczewski or Małgorzata Ostrowska-Królikowska. You will get to know their stories, desires and dreams, as well as difficult parts of their lives.

• You will get to know…their authenticity.
• Let’s start this journey together!
