Publisher's Summary

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 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What the critics say

"Think of the most cluelessly unselfaware person you know: your boss, annoying neighbor, brother-in-law. How can we avoid being that person? And teach our kids to avoid being that person as well? Eurich summarizes the fascinating science about self insight, but - perhaps more importantly - she studies admirable individuals who are self-aware in a way that is applauded by their peers. You'll benefit from knowing what they know. Buy a copy for yourself and buy another to leave, anonymously, on your boss's desk." (Chip Heath, coauthor of New York Times best sellers Switch and Decisive)

Great for knowing yourself

This book allows you to confront yourself. With knowledge of yourself you can grow. The path ahead may not be easy - but it will be worth it. Already the improvement I have seen in my life is worth it.

Well written with stories integrated into the lessons to drive them home and help you remember them. Very good non-fiction book.

Truly insightful!

I recently listened to the Insight audiobook and it’s honestly been so eye opening that I’m purchasing the physical book as well. I want to be able to refer back to it easily and continue to gain insights depending on the stages I’m at. I often find that books can overall leave me with a good feeling, but I don’t have clear takeaways or next actions. This is a complete exception - I have so many takeaways and am now working through the PDF and Tasha’s workbook as well. If you have any type of personal or work relationships, I highly recommend this book!

good narrator, interesting book

The tone of the narrator (also the author) is a bit too enthusiastic for me but she articulates very well. English is my third language and yet every word was crystal clear, which is not always the case.
