Heidegger's Concept of Authenticity

Heidegger's concept of authenticity refers to living in a way that genuinely reflects your true self and personal values, rather than conforming blindly to societal expectations. It involves recognizing your individual existence, taking responsibility for your choices, and embracing your mortality as a reminder to lead a meaningful life. Authenticity entails being honest about who you are and how you exist in the world, rather than losing yourself in the routines or pressures of others. It’s about creating an honest, deliberate relationship with your own existence.
