許多認知行為學派者認為自我察覺(self-awareness,也稱「自我認知」(self-cognition)或「自覺」)在行為改變扮演重要角色,也是二十一世紀的meta-skills(是指融合硬技能與軟技能的能力)。

研究不斷顯示,自我察覺高的人比較快樂,也較滿足與他人之間的關係;同時具有高創造力,比較不會說謊、欺騙或偷取;在職場表現優異,而身為領導者的他們會得到員工的擁戴,經營的公司表現出色。

絕大多數的人都不是與生俱來擁有自我察覺能力,甚至也可能不知道如何做到的。對我們來說,發展真正的自我察覺能力意味著能夠克服一切的認知偏見──除了我們自己本身外,也包括那些在我們身邊的其他人──唯有如此,才能更加瞭解自己,以及清楚他人如何看待自己。TED演說作者塔夏•歐里希將在新書《Awake》告訴我們如何培養我們的自我察覺力。

在工作、家裡、學校或是娛樂時,我們很容易指責他人的健忘或不留神──但是,我們很少留意到自己也發生同樣的情況,並對此感到歉疚。在現代社會過度強調「我」的概念下,令此問題加劇。就年輕世代來說,他們成長在一個鼓吹表現自信、善於自我表現的世界,並且不斷地得到他人讚許自己的出色表現及與眾不同的才能。這樣的結果導致我們的自我認知不夠成熟,而這般極樂派的無視的代價通常令我們對於否定回饋毫無防備:有些情況像是,突然被公司炒魷魚或是情人要分手等戲劇事件;其他情況則發生在與人關係的膠著或是職涯的前滯不前等。

這是一本吸引人的、具啟迪的書,探究每個人最感興趣的主題:我們自己!

對於任何一位積極欲自我改進和自我成長的讀者來說,該書都能提供你最實用的技巧。作者首先將在書中向讀者定義何為自我察覺,及解釋它為何難以達到。同時,粉碎關於我們如何培育自知之明的迷思,並向我們提出真正適用的戰略,得以活用於生活、工作和關係等各層面。

全文書稿預計於2016年7月完成。
