At its core, the book argues that true understanding and significant change begin within. It is not merely about dwelling on the past but learning from it (retrospection), and not just observing oneself but understanding the underlying reasons for one's thoughts and actions (introspection). The author presents introspection as a disciplined practice, essential for achieving self-awareness, resolving internal conflicts, making better decisions, and aligning one's life with deeper values and purpose. The text likely uses examples, philosophical reasoning, and perhaps anecdotes to illustrate the transformative power of turning one's gaze inward.
