Currently Playing: A Therapist's Reflections on Authenticity - Post your questions here

My new book — A Therapist's Reflections on Authenticity: Congruence and the Modern World — is out on Wednesday, September 9th, 2026. 📖 Buy it here: https://www.tinyurl.com/ChrisMBook 🎉 20% off for YouTube subscribers: 26AEV2 The book explores why authenticity is central to our wellbeing — the root of Carl Rogers' person-centred theory. I wanted to bring this idea to a wider audience: accessible if you know nothing about counselling, but still very useful if you're in training or interested in psychology and social commentary (or just wondering what's going on with the world right now?!) I also look at why this theory feels more relevant than ever — in relation to social media, capitalism, the workplace, and the rise in mental health struggles we're seeing all around us. And I share practical ways to build self-awareness and congruence, to help improve wellbeing, relationships, and ultimately, your quality of life (that's a big claim, Chris)! If you've got questions about the book, person-centred theory, or anything I've touched on here — drop them in the comments and I'll get back to you all. I'm genuinely looking forward to connecting directly with readers and hearing what you have to say and ask. Whether you've followed this channel for a while or you're just finding it, this video is an invitation into the next chapter of my work and to continue to grow together (and I really do mean that!).
