Synopsis



In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: `Know yourself'.

Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

We come away with a newly clarified sense of who we are, what we need to watch out for when making decisions, and what our priorities and potential might be.

What people are saying about Self-Knowledge:

"True, talks reality. Really worth to read it." Maarten

"Thoughtful, insightful, incredibly well written. This is a must." Steven

"Excellent little book, so insightful. Beautifully produced, too." Rick
