About the Book

Self-Awareness is part of Harvard Business Review's acclaimed Emotional Intelligence Series, exploring self-awareness as the true bedrock of emotional intelligence, the quality that enables people to genuinely see their own talents, shortcomings, and potential. As the collection makes clear, real self-awareness can't be achieved through the usual quarterly feedback forms or occasional self-reflection alone. Instead, this book teaches readers how to understand their own thoughts and emotions more deeply, how to persuade colleagues to honestly share what they really think, and why developing genuine self-awareness sparks more productive, rewarding relationships with both employees and bosses.

The collection opens with Daniel Goleman's foundational essay "The First Component of Emotional Intelligence," exploring the key to understanding one's own emotions, strengths, and weaknesses, followed by Tasha Eurich's "What Self-Awareness Really Is (and How to Cultivate It)," which distinguishes between seeing yourself from the inside and being seen accurately from the outside. Other essays include Bernie Swain's look at how successful leaders came to understand what shaped who they are, Robert Steven Kaplan's guidance on clarifying one's professional passions, Susan David and Christina Congleton's influential concept of "emotional agility," accepting one's feelings while still acting on one's values, and Jennifer Porter's practical case for making time for self-reflection, even for those who dread it. Together, the collection offers both the psychological grounding and the concrete tools needed to build genuine, actionable self-awareness at work.
