Finding Your Authentic You: The Fight to Become You
By Dr. Paul Gavoni

This isn’t a memoir. It’s not a feel-good self-help book. And it’s definitely not another dose of toxic positivity disguised as personal growth.

This is a behavioral blueprint for getting out of your own way.

Written by Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Dr. Paul Gavoni, Finding Your Authentic You blends raw personal stories with the science of behavior to help you break free from the patterns that keep you stuck—without sugarcoating the process.

Dr. Gavoni isn’t some self-proclaimed guru. He’s a fighter, a father, and a behavior analyst who’s faced his own cycles of anxiety, over-functioning, and self-doubt. And rather than mystifying the path to change, he lays it bare—showing how you can leverage the science of human behavior to stop performing, start aligning, and build the version of you that reflects what really matters.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still feel disconnected, exhausted, or unseen—this book will show you why. And what to do about it.

Inside this book, you’ll learn:

Why you're not broken—just reinforcing the wrong patterns
How behavioral blind spots quietly sabotage your goals
What “authenticity” really means from a behavior analytic perspective
How to shift from survival behaviors to value-driven actions
And how to fight for the version of you that doesn’t just look confident—but actually is

This book is just over 14,000 words by design. It’s meant to be read in one sitting or revisited in small doses. The size is intentional—because insight doesn’t need to be long-winded to create change.

This isn’t a book of magic. It’s a book of momentum—behavior by behavior. Through real-life examples, science-backed strategies, and a brutally honest look in the mirror, Finding Your Authentic Self offers a practical path to reclaim your life through awareness and behavioral alignment.

Authenticity isn’t a discovery. It’s a discipline.
And that fight? It’s worth it.

Praise for Finding Your Authentic Self
"Humility and grace guide his writing, while early pain and fear directed his learning, with enough love to keep on keeping on. In the end, authenticity through behavior clarifies purpose and our vision of the future self we wish to be. He offers us examples, science, and steps to guide us. You will come away, as I did, wanting more." - A. Darnell Lattal, Ph.D

"If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still feel exhausted or unseen, this book is for you. It’s not magic, it’s momentum. Page by page, it helps you move closer to the version of yourself that isn’t just confident but deeply grounded in purpose." -Dr. Kisha Bellande-Francis

"This book is a MUST READ. I couldn’t put it down. It is so well written and compelling. Dr. Paulie Gavoni loaded this up with behavior analytic gold – it will help you create a better, happier, more effective life." Dr. John Austin

"Finding Your Authentic Self is a rare and necessary offering. With unflinching honesty and behavioral precision, Dr. Gavoni guides us through the messy, beautiful process of returning to the wholeness that was never truly lost, only buried." -- Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi

"I challenge you to put this book down without having found yourself on a page, and unchanged. Daring to be more vulnerable than most, Paulie shows us how to be better behavior analysts by embracing who we are, how we got here, and how we can reach others with more understanding and empathy." Dr. Sorah Stein

"It’s not only one of the best personal development books I’ve read, it’s also one of the most powerful leadership books I’ve ever come across." -Carlos Del Rio

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
