You Are Not As Self-Aware As You Think You Are - Julia Carden

So you think you’re self-aware? Think again! Most leaders believe themselves to be self-aware. But what does ‘self-awareness’ really mean? How is it different from self-knowledge or self-consciousness? Being self-aware starts with understanding what self-awareness is, so that’s where this book begins. It then goes on to explore why developing self-awareness is the route to developing deeper self-acceptance and self-connection, so that you can start to de-latch your self-worth and ego from outcomes, meaning that you become able to lead more powerfully through uncertainty. Leaders are increasingly facing ‘wicked problems’ in this VUCA world so this book is primarily written for them; it is also highly relevant for coaches supporting those leaders and for anyone who wants to develop self-awareness more effectively. The writing is underpinned and inspired by Julia Carden’s doctoral research into self-awareness and its role in the development of executive coaches, and includes questions and exercises for self-reflection to develop self-awareness at every step.

Who Do You Think You are? - Siobhan Gallagher

You are who you are today because of a million tiny moments. It''s hard to say which moments are responsible for your tendency to cancel plans, what initiated a weird habit or why your go-to comfort food as a kid was a ketchup-and-mustard sandwich, but sometimes you only need to spend a little time reflecting in order to unearth these connections between past and present.In this illustrated journal, artist, Siobhan Gallagher, will jog your memory and encourage self-reflection with fun and engaging prompts, such as:·What is something (or someone) you can''t believe you ever liked?·In the museum of your life, what moment was so important that it would need to be represented by a life-sized diorama?·If you could bottle up your childhood, what would it smell like? (Chocolate-scented marker pens? Grandma''s house?)·Draw and label all the things you''ve lost that you wish you''d found.With plenty of room to write and reflect, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? will help you examine your past to understand the unique and fascinating timeline that made you into the person you are today.

Self-Portraits: Stories - Osamu Dazai

"Art dies the moment it acquires authority." So said Japan's quintessential rebel writer Osamu Dazai, who, disgusted with the hypocrisy of every kind of establishment, from the nation's obsolete aristocracy to its posturing, warmongering generals, went his own way, even when that meant his death—and the death of others. Faced with pressure to conform, he declared his individuality to the world—in all its self-involved, self-conscious and self-hating glory. "Art", he wrote, "is 'I'." In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai's life mirrored his art and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame and falls again.Addiction, debt, shame and despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death and yet despite all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an almost fanatical honesty to his writing. And that has made him a hero to generations of readers who see laid bare, in his works, the painful, impossible contradictions inherent in the universal commandment of social life—fit in and do as you are told—as well as the possibility, however desperate, of defiance.
