Episode notes
Self-Awareness Gap
- Most people overestimate their self-awareness, believing they are self-aware when they are not.
- Self-awareness is crucial for personal and professional success, impacting relationships, leadership, and even financial outcomes.
Self-Awareness as a Practice
- Self-awareness isn't a one-time achievement but requires continuous effort, like going to the gym.
- Those who are most self-aware often work harder at it than others, making incremental gains.
Two Types of Self-Awareness
- Self-awareness involves both internal understanding (knowing yourself) and external understanding (how others perceive you).
- These two types of self-awareness are independent; being strong in one doesn't guarantee strength in the other.
