I took a sociology class in college and now as an adult, I want to dive back into this world as I have a teenage daughter and noticed that she wears various masks among various people. The chapter on the Intellectual Expert, for instance, was really interesting to me as I have seen my daughter often hide behind a facade of knowledge almost using it as a shield against vulnerability. In listening to this chapter to understand her motivations behind the behaviors and then the author offered techniques to help cultivate authenticity.

The book takes a holistic approach which is nice because it doesn't just stop at identifying and understanding the masks but then the author emphasizes the importance of creating genuine bonds. I also really enjoyed the lessons on vulnerability and emotional intimacy which helped me modify how I interacted with my daughter to ensure that I am empathetic, compassionate, and respectful and I could then try to cultivate the same out of her.

Overall, there is so much information in this book and it definitely deserves a listen more than once so that you are able to absorb the information appropriately. Many of us have people in our lives who have so many different personalities and having a book like this helps us to understand who they are and maybe why they are wearing the mask how we can help them start to feel more confident to be themselves.

19 masks. Some people would think of this in terms of hats, but it's still the same thing. We all wear them, and they change to fit the situation or the people we are around. In some cases, we don't even realize the change since it has become so normal to us. While the masks do benefit us, each personality trait does have its own downfalls when we think about it.

This book definitely inspires self-reflection and assists in finding our true selves, especially since wearing some of these masks does not make us happy.

An interesting listen

This was an insightful look at human behavior. All people wear different masks, or aspects of our persona, to be accepted as productive members of any group. After all, at a young age, we understand that we can act differently in front of friends compared to our grandparents. But, what I found most helpful when listening to this book is that far from preaching the need to stop wearing masks, the objective seemed to be simply to help us be aware of when and why we are wearing a specific mask, and to recognize that we are in control of when to remove the masks as well. By removing the masks to unveil our authentic selves, we open up to developing more meaningful and lasting relationships with others.
