The coolest skill of all is metacognition, or thinking about thinking. Science, philosophy and practice converge in equal measure in this book. To become better, everyone first needs to determine what it means to them personally. "The Art of Self-Knowledge" invites readers on a journey, but not somewhere in exotic distances, but to themselves. This path can be dangerous, frightening and uncomfortable, but at the end there is a generous reward for all. Knowing yourself is not the same as knowing your biography - you need to realize what makes us happy, what makes us sad, and also what beliefs and values initiate such emotions.

Most people look outside for a solution to their problems, but that's all It's like trying to stick a Band-Aid on an open wound. Everything that makes our life good or bad comes from within. It's time to find out what is hidden in the depths.
