Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Your technical problems are not the only systems you need to debug.You can be highly competent and still overreact under pressure, avoid difficult conversations, overanalyse decisions, or chase goals that no longer feel like your own.Self-Coaching for Engineers is a practical guide to understanding the hidden patterns behind your behaviour at work-and changing them deliberately.Written for engineers, technical professionals, and engineering leaders, this book translates major ideas from psychology and philosophy into the language of technical environments. It explores why intelligent people get trapped in recurring conflicts, perfectionism, impostor feelings, analysis paralysis, defensive habits, and careers that look successful from the outside but feel increasingly disconnected on the inside.Across the book, you will learn how to: - Recognise the unconscious drivers behind your reactions and decisions.- Identify the workplace "games" and hidden agendas that keep conflicts alive.- Understand how feelings of inferiority can fuel both avoidance and overcompensation.- See how your personal history and assumptions shape your version of reality.- Separate your authentic priorities from other people's expectations.- Notice when you are operating from old scripts instead of responding to the situation in front of you.- Turn self-awareness into concrete changes in meetings, decisions, feedback, and leadership.Each chapter combines psychological theory, engineering workplace scenarios, and self-coaching exercises. You will find tools for journaling, self-distancing, perspective mapping, identifying recurring interaction patterns, challenging hidden assumptions, and testing new ways of responding.This is not a book about becoming perfectly rational or eliminating emotion. It is about becoming more aware of the internal systems influencing your behaviour-so you can choose your next response with greater clarity.Debug your patterns. Reclaim your choices. Build a way of working and leading that actually fits.
