Before we start our trip down the trail of self-discovery, a word from the skeptics.
There are so many problems in this world, they say. How can we justify the time and
effort spent on selfish navel-gazing when we could be doing something
constructive? Well, the short answer is that a lack of self-awareness tends to make
you a bit of an arsehole. Without a healthy sense of humility and self-criticism, you
tend to overstate your own needs and downgrade those of others. You tend to
ignore or become defensive about your own flaws while exaggerating those of
others. If you’re getting a mental image of Donald Trump, then you’ve got the idea.
