I was not disappointed. Dare I say, this new resource is packed full of insights and it is likely a book that the reader will not put down until it is consumed.On one hand this author grounds her cogent observations in research, accounting for a myriad of studies to support her many assertions. On the other hand, what makes this book so readable and compelling is her storytelling, alive with real world examples of failures, personal and business trials, and ultimately major findings and successes. Self-awareness sounds like a simple concept, but in reality it is very complex, requiring introspection and outward facing assessment. She covers these related but different aspects in great, interesting detail, weaving story after story to capture one’s interest. We learn about blind-spots, recognizable behaviors, seven pillars of insight, and building blocks for successful teams.I was particularly moved by reading about the experiences of Alan Mulally, of Boeing Company and Ford Motor Company fame. It became clear that his personal values, risk taking, and communication style were able to greatly transform a large organization overcome with tradition, old culture, obsolete reward systems and some recent failures. His formula was applied masterfully, and Dr. Eurich was able to apply this life and business success to her framework for self-awareness.I also appreciated at the end of her book a number of appendices which serve as practical approaches for self-discovery. These would also be useful for teams or organizations that wish to assess and develop together. Some case examples are also provided where team success has been achieved, even in the most trying of circumstances.Finally, I would comment that this book is worth reading more than once, and worth packing around for personal reference. There are many lessons included in this good read that should be recounted more than once. Sometimes it takes courage to be self-aware and to listen to the voices of others; but the reader is left with the belief that it is necessary, achievable, and worthy of such a personal investment. And that there is value both in the workplace, as well as the personal life outside of work. ### ⭐ Trivial value, and a bore *by K***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019* I really wanted to like this book. I thought it would give me at least a modicum of insight, especially since that's its title. Instead, it meanders through filler-stories like someone lost in the woods, finding themself in a similar spot over and over. For a book on self-awareness, the author is incredibly self-absorbed. Her judgment-laden descriptions (journaling junkie, meditation-retreat rodeo, "super-earnest, super-annoying levels of commitment to their lifestyle,"-- to name a few) were endlessly annoying in a book about self-awareness.At one point she quotes a participant comment she read after one of her programs which said, "My biggest learning from this program is how much money a consultant can make by presenting banal, trivial, feel-good, recycled, and repackaged pop psychology and common sense concepts as innovative leadership training" (she referred to as a "nasty comment"), pretty well sums up exactly how I felt slogging through this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ insight: why we're not as self-aware as we think we are *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017* This was an interesting book about the importance of being self-aware. A fact that's noted throughout the book is that one can be externally self-aware without being internally self-aware and vice versa. Self-confidence doesn't have anything to do with self-awareness as studies quoted concluded that the most confident are generally the least competent. Interestingly, despite all the literature on self-confidence, this book mentions that the overall confidence of the population has dramatically gone up over the last decades as opposed to the mid-twentieth century. Self-absorption has gradually become the norm with the proliferation of the social media outlets and obsessions with selfies, though paradoxically, the practices are more about presenting oneself than connecting with others. The books also delves into the differences between people who are truly delusional and those who are aware but don't care. The book cautions to avoid self-awareness thorns like ruminations (thinking and analyzing too much something that has already happened) or being too introspective (obsessed with past events as a way to explain one's present struggles). Instead, the author advises to focus on what will happen, and, when studying the reasons for one's happiness, as the "what" ("what do I not like, and what can I do to change it") rather than the "why" ("why I don't like something) question, which can sometimes be too hard to answer and ultimately get one confused and even more stuck in his problems. The book is filled with personal stories, and various studies. Many phrases are typed in bold throughout the book, making it easy to extract the main point from the sections or to skim. One repeated advice throughout the book is to ask others about how you come across, since they're more objective than self-analysis. On the other hand, it's also mentioned that most people have a hard time being truthful with others, and are thus unlikely to really tell them, making this a challenging endeavor. Overall, an interesting book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/42038816-insight-why-were-not-as-self-aware-as-we-think](https://www.desertcart.at/products/42038816-insight-why-were-not-as-self-aware-as-we-think) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
