Book excerpt: Learn how to develop self-awareness and use it to become more fulfilled, confident, and successful. Most people feel like they know themselves pretty well. But what if you could know yourself just a little bit better—and with this small improvement, get a big payoff…not just in your career, but in your life? Research shows that self-awareness—knowing who we are and how others see us—is the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. There’s just one problem: most people don’t see themselves quite as clearly as they could. Fortunately, reveals organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich, self-awareness is a surprisingly developable skill. Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, she shows us what it really takes to better understand ourselves on the inside—and how to get others to tell us the honest truth about how we come across. Through stories of people who have made dramatic gains in self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help you do the same—and how to use this insight to be more fulfilled, confident, and successful in life and in work. In Insight, you'll learn: • The 7 types of self-knowledge that self-aware people possess. • The 2 biggest invisible roadblocks to self-awareness. • Why approaches like therapy and journaling don't always lead to true insight • How to stop your confidence-killing habits and learn to love who you are. • How to benefit from mindfulness without uttering a single mantra. • Why other people don’t tell you the truth about yourself—and how to find out what they really think. • How to deepen your insight into your passions, gifts, and the blind spots that could be holding you back. • How to hear critical feedback without losing your mojo. • Why the people with the most power can often be the least-self-aware, and how smart leaders avoid this trap. • The 3 building blocks for self-aware teams. • How to deal with delusional bosses, clients, and coworkers.

Download or read book A Path Toward Light written by August Binkert and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, this book represents my life's work. Its purpose is for enlightenment. To achieve that end, it first sets the foundation for a stable mental platform, then takes you through the novice, intermediate, and master stages of meditative thinking. It considers the realms of mind, body, emotions and spirit, and leads you to become aware of the traits that may be revealed at each level and realm. Every person is on an essential journey. Regardless of whether they are aware of it or actively participating in it, their essence is changing. This essence exists in both the world and people around us, and within our own personal psyche as a quality of awareness. This book addresses your own awareness of your journey. Not your journey through life, but more importantly the journey of your growing awareness of life. Herein then lies a collection of insights, philosophies, techniques, cognitive and yoga exercises, introspection and some personal examples. Collectively they represent a significant set of tools for unfolding self awareness and developing the traits of an enlightened thinker. It achieves this by using these tools to guide your focus in a way that significantly challenges and develops your awareness. Your awareness thus expands to encompass a knowledge and understanding of many traits of conscious life that you may otherwise never have appreciated or become aware of. Traits like intuition, introspection, experiencing the moment, wonderment, compassion and sensitivity to subtle nuances of your inner thinking and the world around you. How you use these gifts is yours to decide. Regardless of the directions you embark on, life will be more meaningful when engaged from a higher level of essence. Another beauty is that with greater awareness and understanding comes an ease in discerning and making life choices. You will know yourself. How much can you appreciate? How deeply can you feel? The book goes on, but is best left to your own discovery.

Download or read book The Path written by Rev. Dr. Ebele Okonkwo Onuigbo and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision-making is a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, shaping our paths through the resolutions we reach after careful consideration. From the simplest choices to the most complex dilemmas, individuals continuously navigate the terrain of decision-making throughout their lifetimes. These decisions serve as compass points, guiding us toward the fulfillment of our goals and aspirations, whether they lead to positive outcomes or negative consequences. How many individuals truly take the time to thoroughly consider the available facts before diving into the decision-making process? Engaging in wise deliberation of facts prior to making a decision is crucial for ensuring that the resulting choice will have a meaningful impact, whether on the individual themselves or the circumstances at hand. So, how does one go about making a wise decision? It involves carefully weighing the available information, considering potential consequences, and evaluating the implications for both oneself and others in the surrounding community. Ultimately, the decisions we make not only shape our own lives but also have far-reaching effects on the well-being and experiences of those around us. In the modern world, we observe a striking dichotomy between Jesus’ purpose-driven ethos and the prevalent self-centered pursuits that often consume individuals. Amidst the clamor for material possessions, societal status, and personal comfort, many seem to lose sight of life’s deeper significance. While the pursuit of such desires is not inherently erroneous, an excessive fixation on them can obscure individuals from fulfilling their higher calling.

Download or read book Get Over It written by Iyanla Vanzant and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today—as repeated attempts to "fix ourselves and our lives" fail—many of us face unprecedented fears about the future, struggle with unspeakable life tragedies, and sink under the belief that certain lives do not matter in our society. Others confront our epidemic of anxiety with fierce resistance, or "the fight to be right," criticizing anyone and everyone just to end up stuck. In the face of such pervasive human suffering, New York Times best-selling author and legendary life coach Iyanla Vanzant challenges us: What if it’s not them—what if it’s you? What if you need to "get over it"—and get over yourself? Because no matter how much we would like to blame people and circumstances beyond our control, the truth is staggeringly simple: anything and everything we experience is a function of what and how we think. In Get Over It! Iyanla offers a unique spiritual technology called "thought therapy," a process that harnesses proven spiritual tools with the science of neuroplasticity. The 42 prayers and affirmations, and complementary energy-clearing tools at the heart of the thought therapy process are designed to neutralize and eliminate the unconscious, unproductive, soul-destroying dominant negative thought patterns (DNTPs) and discordant emotional energies, allowing you to get to the root cause of your personal suffering, and make life-affirming choices. If you’re ready to break free of your ego’s resistance and willing to face yourself, willing to change, and willing to heal and grow—then now’s the time to Get Over It!

Download or read book Perplexities of Consciousness written by Eric Schwitzgebel and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosopher argues that we know little about our own inner lives. Do you dream in color? If you answer Yes, how can you be sure? Before you recount your vivid memory of a dream featuring all the colors of the rainbow, consider that in the 1950s researchers found that most people reported dreaming in black and white. In the 1960s, when most movies were in color and more people had color television sets, the vast majority of reported dreams contained color. The most likely explanation for this, according to the philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel, is not that exposure to black-and-white media made people misremember their dreams. It is that we simply don't know whether or not we dream in color. In Perplexities of Consciousness, Schwitzgebel examines various aspects of inner life (dreams, mental imagery, emotions, and other subjective phenomena) and argues that we know very little about our stream of conscious experience. Drawing broadly from historical and recent philosophy and psychology to examine such topics as visual perspective, and the unreliability of introspection, Schwitzgebel finds us singularly inept in our judgments about conscious experience.

Download or read book Struck By Living 2nd Edition written by Julie Hersh and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struck by Living, originally published in 2010, is a story about me, Julie Kosnik Hersh, my experience with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and management of depression. This new version includes a prologue detailing the strange series of events this book spurred, as well as a wellness list in the back. On the original book tour, I decided it was too depressing to just talk about my depression, so I talked about how I stayed well too. People scribbled down these ideas like gospel, which they aren’t. They are common-sense ideas I’ve learned from years of psychotherapy, my own reading, and talking to people about this topic. I’ve included these ideas in this new edition so people don’t have to scribble. I love to read, so I wrote this book like a novel, instead of like a self-help book. I’m not a fan of self-help books as most of them claim to be “the answer.” The older I get, the more I realize how little I know. I do know there is no single answer for managing mental illness. This is a life-long task, where we all have to figure out our own quirks and how to manage them. If my story can help you figure this out—great. Each time I speak about my experience, I find people are often one step removed from the devastation of mental illness or even suicide. Stories about mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses, and children all make me wonder: Could we have stopped those deaths? If we are more aware, can we see the signs earlier and save a life? ​I think we can. In that belief, I offer my story. Proceeds from this book will be donated to programs and research to battle mental illness.

Download or read book Walking to Listen written by Andrew Forsthoefel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir of one young man's coming of age on a journey across America--told through the stories of the people of all ages, races, and inclinations he meets along the way. Life is fast, and I've found it's easy to confuse the miraculous for the mundane, so I'm slowing down, way down, in order to give my full presence to the extraordinary that infuses each moment and resides in every one of us. At 23, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen." He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn't know how. So he decided to take a cross-country quest for guidance, one where everyone he met would be his guide. In the year that followed, he faced an Appalachian winter and a Mojave summer. He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt. But he also encountered incredible kindness from strangers. Thousands shared their stories with him, sometimes confiding their prejudices, too. Often he didn't know how to respond. How to find unity in diversity? How to stay connected, even as fear works to tear us apart? He listened for answers to these questions, and to the existential questions every human must face, and began to find that the answer might be in listening itself. Ultimately, it's the stories of others living all along the roads of America that carry this journey and sing out in a hopeful, heartfelt book about how a life is made, and how our nation defines itself on the most human level.

Download or read book Sacred Introspection written by Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sacred introspection" is an original and moving initiatory story rooted in the author's experience-an inner pilgrimage to meet your intuition and make your life a spiritual adventure. This book will help you find the paths of your intuition and improve your life by giving meaning to all your experiences, past, present, and future. Intuition is not a superpower reserved for a select few: you have access to it, you are entitled to it, it is part of you. Set out with the author to find it. He discovered how his intuition was stifled, disqualified, and muted by his conditioning, fears, and education. He shows you how he learned to find it and listen to it by opening to his dreams, reconnecting with his body, reconciling himself with his emotions, becoming aware of his shadows and repressions, and exploring inner silence and rest. On this path, he encountered an inner hidden wisdom that connected him to the divine, to the Great Mystery and introduced him to a new intimacy with himself and reality. The path of intuition has become the pilgrimage of his life, transfiguring and giving meaning to everything that constitutes it, including difficulties and suffering. That is what he calls sacred introspection. He invites you on this path: step by step, find your way towards your intuition, towards yourself, and thus find your inner guide to manage your life better and make space for more joy and happiness: the vital energy that flows when we align more and more with ourselves.

Download or read book The Path Of Introspection Life written by Darin Vandemortel and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivor's guilt occurs in people who have experienced a traumatic event. This is also feeling guilt as the author was 21 years old. In 1964, her first love was killed in a car crash while coming to see her when he originally planned to celebrate his own 21st birthday with friends onboard the USS Mahan stationed in Long Beach, California. For the following five decades, her survivor's guilt chose the men in her life, three men perceived to be in need of saving. But then everything changed in 2013 when she wrote a short story about her lost love. By that time she had been a paranormal investigator for seven years, and one with a reputation as a 'debunker' for their team. Then her cell phone rang two different times while it was turned off, convincing her that maybe, just maybe, their clients were not the only ones with unseen loved ones around them.
