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 Eurich
5.0
2nd read:
I’m always looking for good books on self-awareness because it’s by far the most important characteristic we all need but usually lack. Once I started reading this, I realized I already read it, so this was my second read. It’s a great book, but there are some studies she references that I’m a bit skeptical of and would have to look into further. This book is mainly for business people when dealing with others and making decisions, but everyone can benefit from a lot of topics discussed in this book.

What a fantastic book. If you asked anyone if they're self-aware, they'd say that they are (and yes, that includes you and I as well). The reality is that most people aren't self-aware, and it causes a lot of issues in our lives. Whether it's personal or professional relationships, we cause a lot of our own misery due to our lack of self-awareness. In this book, Tasha Eurich does an incredible job getting to the root causes of why we don't see ourselves the same way that others do, but more importantly, she has a ton of solutions. I like this book because it's focused on fixing ourselves rather than trying to fix others. But, in the last chapter, she gives some practical tips for dealing with delusional people and whether or not they're a lost cause.
