Self-awareness is not a talent that people have. It's a skill that can be acquired through different ways. The problem is most people do not even devote themselves to the process of learning it. It is the most rewarding skill that everyone should have. Thank you for your time!
You're completely right. The perception that I have now compared to when I "gave into the unknown" makes for a drastic and huge change, over and over and over again. It never stops. We have to give in to much deeper levels of Self Awareness. Because out of 10 people that believe they are aware, only 1.8 were actually aware of themselves. Given into the unknown seems to be the difference between my awareness and others that I thought were the same. Out of the 82% that weren't aware, I think 60% of those spent time lying to themselves to avoid awareness. Percetages may be a little off, but True study, no doubt.

Wow. Well. People really don’t understand how important self awareness is, it literally will destroy everything about you when you ignore your weaknesses and is full of Ego.
Well done, Will Sparks! I don't know any truly effective leader who has not gained a sense of self awareness through feedback from others...and take action to understand the Self more fully.
The true AWARENESS is the awareness that we are only AWARENESS. Before the personality, the naming and the self description...before all learned concepts of right and wrong...and judging and choice. We are only AWARENESS. Nothing else is real and nothing else matters.
So powerful sir! Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and important story. This talk had my attention the entire time. I highly recommend this talk for all those interested in true self-development.
Great Talk. I have a lot of F in my life. Few months ago when I didn't get the grade I was hoping to in my English class, I was devastated because I worked hard and had 8 different drafts before I submitted. In my journal, I wrote that I am a A grade person (accept my false, weaknesses, and F), but I am a D grade in the file. Dr. Sparks, your talk was very inspirational.
Great information! Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's hard to face our inner demons but it is soo necessary to seek them out, understand them, and embrace them to really unleash our fullest potential!
Thank you for using this platform to share your journey and the power of self awareness. You are an exceptional educator and storyteller and I am sure this talk will impact a multitude of people on their own self awareness journey. Well done!
Will - Your story is compelling and a lesson that gifts are given in many ways. We just need to be open to hearing them, reflecting on them and taking action.
Great work Dr. Sparks. I appreciate this more than you will ever know. I do have my F in life story. I use it to move me off the couch each and every day.

Thank you for your insight, Will. I've been learning to embrace my own shadow recently after having a riveting moment of self-awareness that was partly due to childhood trauma. It's true that in order for us to really accept others and love them for who they are, we have to first be willing to admit our own frailties and belong to ourselves first. Mabuhay from the Philippines! :)
Carl Jung was how I embraced My Shadow and stumbled into a world of Self Awareness by accident. Iraq War/Massage School/The entire existence was given into by Me. And I'm still here, with universal understanding. And then the band Tool made so much more sense😂
So typical. Most young people: arrogant, or totally unaware, or completely in denial, resisting an honest look at themselves. With maturity thing improve yes for most; some never get there. Humans are so complicated🤦♀️
The only question that I still have is, what did Mr. Spark did with his friends who dissuaded him from believing in what is professor said to him. Did he lose them all ?
I've called out people recently who seem to not know themselves. They invalidate their own feelings and other's by give unsolicited advice and platitudes of just "accept it" or whatever. Well, I won't accept it until I've questioned, deconstructed, and analysed the reasonings behind it. And if I find that reasoning is sound and in line with my own values, then I'll either conform to or assimilate that belief. If not, I'll adopt new beliefs or I'll make my own.
I don't know if he gave us the tools to face our dark side. His personal story should have been an example rather than the lesson. Will seems too star-struck with Jerry B. Harvey, and spends little time seriously introducing us to the art of self-awareness, to the Shadow which he mentions rather than addresses. .
The talk is not called “Tools for self awareness” it’s called “The Power of self awareness”. He’s telling you to take the reins, examine your failures and make the effort to change.

And stubborness
We are all addicted to our own individual comfort zone. Whatever mode of withdrawal from social structure we choose.

Great job, Will! I'm so glad you got to share this story and teaching in another medium.

Great soul. Great talk. Moral n ethics are for living.not judging or teaching.Thank you bless you. All your dreams come true.
Great sorry and just how I remembered you sharing it in person. Thank you for sharing for the world!
Great TEDx. My doctorate is in self-aware leadership. I think it's so important that I also have a podcast and have written a book on the topic now.
The greatest Ted talks ever.
Writing an article on self-awareness, this is just enlightening.-Ursula Mannix
Do you mind sharing that article with me.?
Very authentic, touching, enlightening words..
Thanks for inspiration 💚
Thank you from the bottom of my personality for your deeply meaningful thoughts. Among other things, it was exactly what I need.
Thank you, Dr. Sparks. I have learned a lot from you.

This combined with NBC fr Marshall Rosenberg would be pure dynamite!!!
Great talk but...how do i build my self awareness? Journaling? Meditation?
Educational thank you!

I'm taking a post exam and I need a high score so hopefully this helps
How did you do?
I learn awhole lot
At least i grasped a bit
I hate the mind games some profs play. They are not gods.
Hi!
so, why did he do that to his ex-wife?
F YES! ✊
Hello Dr. Sparks. I would like to talk more on this kindly share how I can contact you.
Look him online you maybe find an email or a way to contact him

I think he was leaving that part up to you after viewing the video. Self discovery and learning need to come from you.
The talk is not called “Tools for self awareness” it’s called “The Power of self awareness”. He’s telling you to take the reins, examine your failures and make the effort to change.
Half of the talk is about himself
80% is about himself. But it’s a good story
