'Self-Awareness' by Harvard Business Review covers the importance of understanding oneself at a deep level, discussing both the benefits and ways to cultivate this crucial yet often overlooked skill. The book investigates the concept that self-awareness is two-pronged, including both internal self-awareness (our understanding of ourselves) and external self-awareness (how others see us). Each type requires different methods for improvement. Research reveals people often overestimate their self-awareness levels. Genuine self-awareness leads to improved decision-making, relationship-building, communication, and overall personal and professional growth.
