""Just be yourself" might be the worst advice you've ever received. For years we've been told that authenticity is the key to success-that we should be true to ourselves tune out others' opinions and lead with unwavering genuineness. This feel-good message has spawned countless self-help books leadership seminars and viral social media posts. There's just one problem: science says it's wrong. Drawing on decades of research renowned psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic reveals an uncomfortable truth: our obsession with authenticity is backfiring. From Silicon Valley's authenticity worship to failed diversity programs he exposes how our fixation on "true selves" undermines both individual and organizational success not to mention empathy and prosocial behavior. The most successful people aren't those who rigidly "stay true to themselves"-they're the ones who adapt and evolve largely by paying a great deal of attention to how others see them and adjusting their behavior to the requirements of each situation. The evidence is clear: when we focus less on expressing our authentic selves and more on understanding others we don't just advance our careers-we become better humans: Our moral compass strengthens. Our emotional intelligence deepens Our leadership abilities soar Our relationships flourish Our personal growth accelerates. Blending cutting-edge psychology with razor-sharp cultural critique Don't Be Yourself doesn't just challenge conventional wisdom-it offers a playbook for long-lasting career success"-- Provided by publisher.
