'A persuasive case for being honest about your weaknesses - and
shows how that can be a source of strength' Adam Grant, New York
Times bestselling author of Think Again 'Humility is the solid
foundation of all virtues' Confucius Humility. Understated,
undervalued and very much underused; but understood and carried out
effectively, it can be the most powerful and influential trait we
have at our fingertips. In Humble, Daryl Van Tongeren, PhD, a
leading researcher into the science of humility gives this
unassuming trait a much-needed rebrand, explaining why the humble
enjoy a more secure sense of self, handle challenges better, and,
indeed, are often the people we like the most. It seems that we are
becoming more and more polarized, and narcissism is on the rise. We
live egocentric lifestyles, often driven inward. Can cultivating
more humility be the antidote to a more and more self-centred
world? In its true sense, humbleness is the happy medium between
self-denial and self-obsession: It grants the holder an accurate
view of reality. By seeing where we have room to improve, we can
grow. By admitting our doubts, we can learn. And by acknowledging
our own worldview as one among many, we can truly connect with
others despite our differences. A thought-provoking call to
reexamine our values, Humble signals a paradigm shift - from the
frenzied 'self-esteem movement' to a better world in which we lift
one another up.
