Summary of Caroline Goyder's Gravitas

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The best place to start when it comes to gravitas is to know yourself. You must develop the awareness to recognize thoughts and feelings as they happen. This gives you inner strength and boosts your confidence, decisiveness, and grace under pressure. #2 Leadership of the self starts with knowing yourself. Self-awareness is key to finding a deep and compassionate center in yourself where you are not dislodged or anxious because of what’s going on around you. #3 The Stoic philosophers believed that we all have an inner compass that guides us in the direction of travel that is right for us. This inner compass is key to gravitas because it gives us stability, resourcefulness, and grace under fire. #4 You must be present to your body as much as to your thinking. The simplest and most effective antidote to anxiety, fear, self-consciousness and tension is to get grounded.
