It seems to me that “being your true self” is code for “dropping some baggage”.

Changes that are, by definition, impossible. If you’re not already yourself, then who are you? Maybe the problem is that you are already yourself. But that wouldn’t square with America’s obsession with the gnostic myth of the orphic child. Sigh. We’re back to my Secret Happy Special Place again, aren’t we, Curtiss?

If a person is unhappy and seeks to be happy that, then that person must be open to changes that cannot be known beforehand.
And don’t get me started on how #3 ties into authenticity….
