Authenticity Accelerator: How to Live an Authentic Life in Ten Words

by Robert Rabbin

Can anyone tell you what and where your authentic life is? Robert Rabbin says "No. You’ll have to work all that out for yourself. Ask your own questions, and then answer them from within your own self. You'll have to find your own strength and clarity, your own confidence and courage and your own path and purpose. Don’t be fooled by the abstractions of your head; engage and express. Life is a game for action figures. You’ve got to live your life, speak your truth, find out what you want."

After more than 40 years of dedicated self-study through a variety of spiritual disciplines, including meditation and self-inquiry, Robert Rabbin has distilled what he's learned into five simple principles, set out in ten words — the Five Principles of Authentic Living.

They

1. Be Present

2. Pay Attention

3. Listen Deeply

4. Speak Truthfully

5. Act Creatively

Within the context of these five principles, we can quickly and easily discover our own truth. We can use the power of that truth to live with courage and confidence, intimacy and vulnerability, honesty and transparency — and discover our capacity to create a truly authentic life.
