Insight
The first definitive book exploring the science of self awareness, the meta skill of the 21st century, Insight is a fascinating journey into everyone s favorite topic themselves Do you know who you really are Do you ever wonder how other peoplereally see you Though we are usually confident that we do, we are wrongoften than we think And if we could see ourselves through others eyes, we might be really surprised Yet regardless of our line of work or stage of life, success depends on understanding who we are and how we come across Research shows that self awareness means better work performance, smarter life choices, deeper,meaningful relationships, and afulfilling career There s just one problem people can be remarkably poor judges of their behavior, performance, and impact on others And despite the lip service given today to feedback, in the business world and beyond, it s rare to get candid, objective data on what we re doing well, and where we could stand to improve Of course, at work and in life, we ve all come across people with a stunning lack of self awareness but how often do we consider whether we might have the same problem And if we did, how would we even know it Drawing on her three year, first of its kind study of people who have dramatically improved their self awareness, organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich reveals why we don t know ourselves as well as we think and what to do about it Alongside her research, she integrates hundreds of academic studies and her 15 years of work with Fortune 500 clients, challenging conventional wisdom to reveal many surprising truths like why introspection is the enemy of insight, how experience isn t a bullet train to self knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves Readers will learn battle tested techniques and tools to improve self awareness and thus their work performance, leadership skills, interpersonal relationships, andInsight is a guide surviving and thriving in an unaware world.
