Publisher's Summary

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 self-awareness gains, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help listeners 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 for surviving and thriving in an unaware world.

Excellent Book

This book kept me interested all the way through. Lots of examples to communicate the information which I found interesting. I had no problems finding the PDF, which I was worried about having read reviews before purchasing.

An excellent apologia for performance reviews

If you live in the USA and work at executive level in the corporate work world and want to get more out of performance reviews, then this book is for you. If you hoped to learn about the 'science of self-awareness', then you will likely be disappointed

missing the core component

I listened to the first few chapters at work. I was initially very excited and enthusiastic, the author talks about several aspects I could see in myself and I was keen to explore those things deeper. my excitement was dulled somewhat when she started referring to a bonus PDF, which seems to be where the real meat of the content is found. I listen to audiobooks because I am time poor, so having to wait to get home to go through a PDF was unappealing. what completely killed any usefulness this book may have though, is that the bonus PDF is nowhere to be found. The single most useful resource and the thing that will make all that this book talks about actually personal and relevant is just not available anywhere I could find.

Great book

This was refreshing and challenging. Lots of good evidence based information on how to become more aware of how others see us, and how we can getter understand ourselves. Easy to listen to, and one I will revisit regularly.

Excellent book on self awareness

A thought-provoking book that offers ideas and tools to improve our self awareness. Understanding that our impact may not be the same as our actions is important for all of us in this world where far too many people shoot off their thoughts without a second glance. Highly recommended.

Great insights with relevant stories

Eurich provides great self reflection of her own stories and how we can use feedback to better work and live with others. This book is a great eye opener for anyone who wants or need to be more present, listen more, and be a little less self absorbed.

Liked the book but where’s the accompanying PDF?!!!

Been going in circles to find it. Please send. URGENT!! Have recommended the book to others but being unable to get the “accompanying.pdf” is detracting from the experience and the rating.

Just brilliant

As an Org Behaviour lecturer and one with a penchant for self-learning, this was a fantastic listen. The narration is fantastic, and the accompanying PFD makes for accessible follow up on the learned principles. I will use some of this knowledge in class!
