About this audiobook
The first definitive book on the science of self-awareness, Insight is a fascinating journey into everyone's favorite topic: themselves.
Do you understand who you really are? Or how others really see you? We all know people with a stunning lack of self-awareness-but how often do we consider whether we might have the same problem?
Research shows that self-awareness is the meta-skill of the 21st century-the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. Unfortunately, we are remarkably poor judges of ourselves and how we come across, and it's rare to get candid, objective feedback from colleagues, employees, and even friends and family.
Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich shatters conventional assumptions about what it takes to truly know ourselves-like why introspection isn't a bullet train to insight, how experience is the enemy of self-knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves. Through stories of people who've made dramatic gains in self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help readers do the same - and therefore improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more.
At a time when self-awareness matters more than ever, Insight is the essential playbook surviving and thriving in an unaware world.
From the Hardcover edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: InsightAuthor: Tasha EurichPublisher: Crown Business Reviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: FiveReview:"Insight: Why We're Not as Self-Aware as We Think, and How Seeing Ourselves Clearly Helps Us Succeed at Work and in Life" by Tasha EurichMy Thoughts....This was definitely a wonderful read for anyone wanting to increase their self awareness through scientific finding and some authentic stories that will definitely help in the way you may be perceived. The read will help one in asking the question what instead of why as it offered ups such informative, colorful and even some humor. I loved how this author was able to give the readers some anecdotes coming from her own practice and in the end making the read a educational read along with her appendix which was a great tool to use too. By the end of this read one will be able to see "that we should never stop seeking personal insight in order to form stronger relationships, teams and growth."These are definitely some steps one can do in order to evaluate just where you are now and even some ideas on how one must chance especially if you don't like the feedback you hear. Now, I will say one has to be in the right frame of mind to be open and receptive to any change one may want in there life. Sometimes it may be a forever journey getting to this place, but it is worth the effect to try.In the end I will take from the read "Insight" being a good read of how to get a good sense of how others may see you through self-awareness with some detailed exercises for developing that skill. This is definitely a read for "therapist, managers and anyone interested in improving themselves as a human being." As for me I can only say its teaching me my own self-awareness and lack thereof. I am still working on this thought-provoking process.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I started off really well with this book and had read at least 100 pages. But then I did not want to pick it up again. It just seemed to belong to that group of self help books that say something basic but use a lot of words to get there. So I did that relatively rare thing of abandoning it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A well-balanced book that will appeal to a newish audience of self-improvement reader - those who are able to cope with both logic and reasoning aspects as well as emotional ones. In fact, it places the emotional determinations in a light that many readers may find uncomfortable. A book designed to cut through the self-help standards and get to accurate and useful self-awareness, through equally important external analysis (vs. strictly internal). I'm digging the trend towards scientists laying out the things that work in the giant stew of misguided efforts of the past (Freud sits at the throne atop of the worst examples).
On the down side - at the end of the book, she promotes a workbook (64pgs IIRC) to do a thorough self-assessment using the books outline, and she charges 20.00 for it.
