Learn how to develop self-awareness and use it to become more
fulfilled, confident, and successful.
Most people feel like they know themselves pretty well. But what if you
could know yourself just a little bit better--and with this small
improvement, get a big payoff...not just in your career, but in your
life?
Research shows that self-awareness--knowing who we are and how others
see us--is the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and
lasting relationships. There's just one problem: most people don't see
themselves quite as clearly as they could.
Fortunately, reveals organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich,
self-awareness is a surprisingly developable skill. Integrating hundreds
of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, she
shows us what it really takes to better understand ourselves on the
inside--and how to get others to tell us the honest truth about how we
come across.
Through stories of people who have made dramatic gains in
self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies
to help you do the same--and how to use this insight to be more
fulfilled, confident, and successful in life and in work.
