The Art of Self-Awareness takes you on a journey - not to an exotic destination, but inwards. It’s perilous, scary, and uncomfortable, but the end rewards will be fantastic. Self-awareness is not simply knowing your name; it’s knowing what makes you happy, what makes you sad, and the underlying beliefs and values that create those emotions. The toughest skill of all: metacognition, which is thinking about your thinking. To get to Point B, you must know what Point A is. Listen to this book to find your starting point, your end goal, and what must happen in between!

Publisher's Summary
Listen to this book, and find out how to read between the lines and eliminate conflict while improving every single relationship. Communication is not just chit-chat, and it is not just the words coming out of people’s mouths. It’s like an onion with layers and layers of nuance, and the deeper you go, the more important it becomes. It has the power to transform your relationships, and thus your life. Learn how to utilize this powerful tool to the fullest and become the most effective communicator you know.
Intentional communication is about the most important skill you can ever possess: how to clearly communicate your thoughts and feelings and receive the same from others. It sounds simple, but then you realize that every day is filled with misunderstandings, passive-aggression, missed opportunities, and emotional outbursts. Why? Genuine communication that leads to long-lasting relationships is rare, and it’s not easy to discover the gaps that hold us back. This book shows you the way and draws deep into both human psychology and usable tips and tricks to transform the way you relate to others and how to truly hear people’s thoughts and emotions, while also clearly expressing yours.
Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real-life experience. He himself used to be in turbulent relationships where dueling monologues was the norm. What changed? He used the techniques in this audiobook:
- The most essential mindsets to ensure comfortable, vulnerable, and satisfying relationships
- The biggest obstacles to healthy communication and listening
- What true validation is, and the powerful catharsis it provides
- The concept of self-differentiation and how it will change you forever
- What an Imago dialogue is and how it can save marriages
- Your unconscious contribution to conflict and passive-aggression and how to conquer it

Very Informative in Building Healthy Relationships
This Book is AMAZING in every essence of the term. If you struggle or have someone in your life that struggles communicating effectively then this read is definitely for you as well as them. Infact I'd reccomend this read to anyone who is a Therapist, Pastors and Teachers as I believe it brings awareness to areas that are often misunderstood and lead to inadequacy when dealing with people who have past hurts. A MUST READ!!! AND A GREAT BOOK to pass along.
