Everything you say and how you act is somehow perceived by other people around.\u00a0 Depending on the words you use and how you speak (or write) you may sound happy or angry, polite or rude, and ultimately negative or positive.<\/p>\n

Very often we are not aware of how we are seen, that is what Johari Window<\/a>, a psychological\u00a0model, says. According to its theory, everyone has a blind area, which is unknown to yourself but known by other individuals.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t be great if you could unlock that blindside and discover how you are doing with your speech online? That’s exactly what Aura\u00a0<\/span>does! With your permission, it checks everything you write, share, comment, and your reaction (like, dislike and other custom\u00a0interactions), so you can know what kind of emotion you seem to have from the reader perspective.<\/p>\n

What is this for? Well, you can learn a bit more about yourself and maybe change your behaviour online to reflect a more positive attitude. This is good! Can you imagine if everyone could be just a little self-critical on the social media, a little less impulsive and angry? We believe we all can have a bright and beautiful Aura<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The etymology of the word Aura<\/h4>\n
