Welcome. Welcome to The New York Times Bestselling Author of Swapan Dasgupta’s latest book “The Three Levels of Self-Awareness”. I have been a fan of Swapan’s work since his first book “The Secret Life of Success”.
I first became aware of Dasguptas work when I read his first book The Three Levels of Self-Awareness. I must admit that I have never read a book with anything to do with self-awareness, but I was intrigued by the idea of three levels. And, sure enough, Dasguptas has written a book full of new information on the topic of self-awareness. The only drawback to his book is that he is an Indian author, not a US author.
Dasgupta is an Indian author, not a US author. But he is a US author, so I suppose that’s all right. I find this all very interesting.
He claims that the world of self-awareness is so complex that we have to go through a series of “levels” before we realize what we are. He says that he was just a little boy in India when he had a life-threatening illness that required a life-saving hospital stay. He was told that he was a “child”, and that this “childhood” was his “level”.
The problem is that self-awareness is a slippery thing. As the saying goes, “the whole point of self-awareness is to avoid admitting to oneself.” The problem is that as self-awareness goes, it gets really hard to deny that you are having a self-awareness breakdown. Maybe you need to stop and think about what is going on. Maybe you need to get perspective. Maybe you need to get help.
We did a lot of research on self-awareness and self-awareness-building, but we weren’t able to find a way to get any sort of help from our computer. So we went to a mental-health professional, so we took a group of people and took a lot of them, and we built a whole new computer to try to understand how we’d be able to build a mental health-satisfying computer for the rest of our lives.
This new computer is pretty smart, and it is designed to help people build self-awareness, to help people remember that they have the ability to change their behavior, and to help people recognize when they are struggling with a difficult problem and start looking at how they can solve that problem. While the design of the computer is still a work in progress, it is starting to look like it will solve a lot of our problems and give us that self-awareness that we are looking for.
Of course, we’re not the first computer to do this. And while technology is not perfect, it is starting to help a lot of us. Our new computer is based on the self-awareness of a monkey and is called a “monkey mind.” The computer monitors us, and it gives us the ability to monitor our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to take a self-awareness test.
That’s pretty cool, let us know if you try the monkey mind out.
