## Resource

"Know thyself" is often cited as the foundation of philosophy and self-awareness. Yet what does this mean? How can we 'know ourselves' and where might this journey of exploration begin and end? In this week's episode, we explore the quality of self-awareness, thinking about why this level of conscious awareness is more needed than ever in our world. From exploring the qualities that make up the 'self' (e.g. mind, body, heart, soul) to the journey to find our core essence, this conversation meanders to the depths and back of the human experience, touching upon some of the key practices, tools, approaches and inquiries we can take to become more self-aware and, as a result, more consciously connected to the world around us. In this episode we reference the following: Atlas of the Heart - Brene Brown (book) Triple WellBeing practice cards - ThoughtBox (card deck) The Medicine Wheel - ancient indigenous map (website) Watching the English - Kate Fox (book) The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle (book) Neuroplasticity in action - Sentis (video) There's an inconvenient movement growing... It's not rebellion, exactly. More of a quiet refusal to look away. We're  inconvenient. And if you feel it, then maybe you are too. Join us. Join The Inconvenient Club from £5 a month.
