This is a short interview-style YouTube video (host: Mick Hunt) about how self-awareness enables authentic connection. In the provided excerpt the guest argues that self-awareness is "paramount," introduces an informal model called "the Upside Down," and claims that knowing oneself lets you see others as they are (metaphor: seeing people through their own glasses rather than your own).

Chapters

Now I always tell people you can't be relatable with others if you're not self aware. And so how important has that been for you? And more importantly, how important should it be for others?
Yeah, I mean I think it is paramount of importance to be self aware because when we are aware of ourself we will reflect others back on us and assume it's about us that makes you relatable. Right, like let's. We'll go forward and we'll do a little theory we have called the Upside Down. When I am self aware means I'm aware of myself meaning I can go into an environment with another human being and I can be exponentially more aware of you and what is unique and specific and distinct to you, not what is a reflection of my own fear. So when I know that I am confident in me, I can see you for you. No pun intended. I don't have my glasses on today, but I can see you through your glasses, not through mine.
