"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 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. Organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich shatters conventional assumptions about what it takes to truly know ourselves--how experience is the enemy of self-knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves. She offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help readers gain self-knowledge and improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more"--Provided by publisher.
