Description
Van Tongeren gives the unassuming trait of humility a much-needed rebrand. He explains why the humble enjoy a more secure sense of self, handle challenges better, and are often the people we like the most. Humbleness 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 we can truly connect with others despite our differences. - adapted from jacket

Narcissism, lack of perception, fixed mindsets, and neuronal default settings are only a few of the stumbling blocks on the path to humility. What exactly is this sought-after humility?...

"We live, says Ed Schein, in a culture of Tell. Rather than trying to genuinely relate to other people we tell them what we think they need to know or should do based on assumptions we've made about them. But telling makes people feel inferior--it shuts them down. This is particularly true of interactions between superiors and subordinates, and that's where it's particularly problematic. In today's complex, interconnected, rapidly changing world hierarchy...
