"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 readers do the same - and therefore improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more" -- provided by publisher.

It has been on my shelf for a while, I had it suggested on my Goodreads page after I have read Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, well I think that I am addicted to her "vulnerability" tool.
It is not until lately when I was stuck between a Lost Case and an Aware Don't Care, that I opted for this book...
I guess that if I wasn't going through these difficulties, I wouldn't have acknowledged the importance of self-awareness...
Being in any situation with a non-self-aware / or self unaware, not only undermines your performance (professional and personal life) and productivity, but drives you down insanity road, the plot twist is when I wasn't as aware of myself as I thought I could. And there was enough space for any miscommunication gone wild, and for hypersensitive gnomes inside my head. 
Needless to say I was relieved to know more about awareness, and that it's never late to develop a clear idea of who we are, and how others perceive us... 
For someone who can't easily accept criticism (Seen myself go down from a "what do you mean, I've done my best there !" to simply ignore any critique, not proud and not bragging..), I decided a couple of months ago to just shift and welcome criticism, and this book delivers some cool tools in this sense.
I appreciate that this book is mainly about you being more self aware (become a unicorn), and leaves dealing with unaware people to the last chapter: Ten points for Gryffindor...
