Many have biographies and autobiographies. Is not hard to spot.

Yes, exactly. In other words, they were introspective.

Introspection isn't a requirement to write an autobiography, and certainly not a biography. Just because someone can't stop talking about themselves and their accomplishments doesn't necessarily mean they analyze their inner thoughts and feelings for deeper meaning.

I would wager that a great many of those people had the introspection to eventually understand where they stood in the world and played the role and probably eventually believed it themselves (because often you must to be successful).

He'll say whatever will sell or raise his profile.
His blog in 2007, which people loved:
https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_personal_productivity.html
Search for "Anti-Todo" and read that section. Then tell me he doesn't believe in some introspection.
These people are completely detached from reality. How do they think we know the thoughts of these so called great men?
