What if your life were guided not by pressure, fear, or habit—but by a quiet, reliable inner self-knowing that is always available to you?
In “How to Know What You Know”, New Thought leader Sara Stevens Nichols invites readers into a new relationship with themselves, one rooted in trust, awareness, and authentic intelligence. Rather than chasing external answers or self-improvement techniques, this book guides you towards the wisdom you already possess, and how to live from it in everyday life.
Through reflection, practical tools, and real-world examples, Nichols shows how "knowing" can guide even the smallest moments: how you start your day, how you eat, work, love, rest, move your body, handle conflict, and care for others. This handbook explores sixteen core "reality traits" and a wide range of life experiences, including health, sex, creativity, work, money, boundaries, beliefs, emotions, integrity, caregiving, and death. Along the way, readers learn to distinguish true knowing from its toxic substitutes that disguise themselves as conditioning, fear, obligation, and self-doubt.
“How to Know What You Know” is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you already are. When you live from within, decisions feel clearer, self-judgment softens, and even difficult days hold meaning. The result is a life with more presence, compassion, confidence, and peace-not because everything is perfect, but because you trust yourself enough to meet life as it is.
