So why don't you tell me what the book is about?

Yeah.

Well, maybe a bit of backstory, um, because, um, the whole topic of self-awareness and emotional intelligence has been a passion project of mine for a very long time, ever since I sort of went through my own dark night of the soul that we've talked on on a previous, um, episode together.

Um, and coming out of that, I realized I didn't really know myself very well.

And there's a very fascinating statistic that might blow your mind if you haven't heard it before, but if you go into a room and you say to everyone, "Who in this room thinks they're self-aware?" 95% of people in the room will put their hand up.

The actual truth is only 10 to 15% of all people are actually self-aware, according to research.

I'm gonna meet someone who knows enough people, and they're gonna change the name on my behalf, and then we're all gonna feel better that it's not soft skills anymore.

Thank goodness, 'cause yeah, they're anything but soft.
