\u201cwho you really are,\u201d \u201cbeing yourself,\u201d and \u201cfinding yourself.\u201d<br \/>\nThese phrases imply the existence of a fundamental layer of a person\u2019s identity that defines them as an individual. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, we\u2019re often bombarded with the adage to \u201cbe yourself.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Adam Grant wrote\u00b9 in the New York Times that \u201cwe are in the Age of Authenticity, where \u2018be yourself\u2019 is the defining advice in life, love, and career.\u201d A study\u00b2 from 2011 found that in college commencement speeches, one of the most common messages
