Wheitner Authentic Living
01 March 2022

Non-profitmaking organisations; Self-help & personal development; Self-sufficiency

Do you dream of a sustainable and just world, but also desire more happiness, direction, balance, or fulfillment? Do you want to engage in more meaningful work? Naked Idealism entertains and refreshes with an approach to authentic living that integrates these areas.

You will learn how to expose your authentic core, clarify what's really important to you, link personal and community-level visions, and relate to the world more effectively. You will examine your intentions for doing good, perhaps even chuckling at yourself during some of the exercises. Wheitner shares valuable tools from positive psychology, career theory, persuasion, organizational dynamics, and more.

Candidly addressing challenging and often avoided topics, Naked Idealism also reminds you not to take life too seriously. Wheitner weaves in humor from his own circuitous trek toward authenticity. You are encouraged to remain fully clothed, but open to the life and world you envision!
