Metacognition: Knowing yourself
Metacognition is defined as "thinking about thinking" or "knowing about knowing." It is the process of knowing and understanding one's own thoughts, feelings, and memories.
When you are aware of your thoughts, feelings, and knowledge while they are happening, you can bring those thoughts under control.

A metacognitive mind is a superpower
Edward de Bono rightly states that “Only the human brain can deliberately change perceptions, change patterns, invent concepts and tolerate ambiguity.”
Learning about yourself is vital. You know what makes you happy or sad and what motivates you. Self-awareness is about understanding what is happening in your head and how to improve your ability to think about your thinking.

Metacognition is a skill
Like any skill, you can improve how you think to make better and more rational decisions.
The first step to improve your metacognition is to realise what you know you know and what you know you don't know. That knowledge can reveal what you need to improve. Then you can get educated on topics like mindfulness and self-awareness to improve.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
