Power and Impotence of the Self-Ideal

It seems to me that we have too high expectations of authenticity
today. People want the "true self" to have priority, both in our
private lives and at work. Psychologically, this is an
unrealistic and unhealthy attitude. The task of the ego is not to
be authentic, but to navigate life. And the "false self" and our
self-ideals help us in this process. It only becomes dangerous
when we split off and suppress authentic parts and needs. Then we
lose important information that we depend on to navigate life in
a sustainable and pleasant way.
