Connect with others authentically from "summary" of Happiness is Free by Lester Levenson,Hale Dwoskin
Connecting with others authentically means being real and genuine in your interactions with them. It requires you to drop all masks and pretenses, and to show up as your true self. When you connect with others authentically, you are able to relate to them on a deeper level, beyond superficialities. Authentic connection is about being present and fully engaged in the moment, listening with an open heart and mind, and responding with empathy and compassion. It involves being vulnerable and honest, and sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and without fear of judgment. When you connect with others authentically, you create a space for trust, understanding, and mutual respect to flourish. Authentic connections are built on a foundation of honesty and authenticity, and they help to strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging and connection. Authentic connections are nourishing and fulfilling, bringing joy, meaning, and purpose to our lives. When we connect with others authentically, we feel seen, heard, and valued, and we experience a sense of connection and belonging that is deeply satisfying. In order to connect with others authentically, it is important to cultivate self-awareness and self-acceptance. By knowing and accepting ourselves fully, we are better able to show up authentically in our relationships with others. Authentic connection begins with ourselves, and it radiates outwards to those around us.
