Synopsis
Research conducted by organisational psychologist Tasha Eurich suggests that around 95% of people believe they are self-aware, while only 10% to 15% actually demonstrate genuine self-awareness. We live immersed in noise, urgency and autopilot, and few of us give ourselves the silence, time and presence that the process of self-awareness requires. This process calls for careful observation of the choices we make, the decisions we take, the habits we cultivate, the beliefs we adopt and the patterns we repeat — because all of them quietly influence the way we think, feel and act.
We all lose touch with ourselves at certain points in our lives, and we all develop ways of feeling, thinking and acting that made sense when they first emerged but may no
longer serve the person we are today or the person we are becoming. What matters is bringing together the pieces of the human puzzle that we are, so that we can always find our way back to ourselves and continue to flourish.
Mapa do Eu is a personal leadership guide, grounded in both scientific and interpretative approaches, that uses a journaling format to help readers move from their habitual role as actors to becoming investigators of themselves. By exploring the foundations of their human experience through inquiry and reflection, readers can create the conditions to reshape the relationship they have with themselves, with others and with the reality around them, while taking responsibility for their own path.
