As stated in the OP, this is an existential topic. Here are some links to better explain authenticity in the context of existentialism:

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the terminology used in this conversation. I'd recommend doing a little research on the topic, if you're not familiar with it.
And for kicks, this explains the Venus Project mentioned in my OP:
