In a world dominated by selfies and scandals, the narrative explores the transformative power of heroic humility. It fuses research with enlightening examples, unveiling how honest self-appraisal, modest presentation, and uplifting others guide a profound journey through trials and redemption.
In this age of selfies, instant celebrity, and corporate scandals, the need for greater humility is pressing. This book synthesizes both research and theory relevant to humility and heroism, articulating a vision of heroic humility-humility of such great depth that it inspires others.
Fortunately, humility can be learned. It has three parts: an honest self-appraisal (including an attitude that one is teachable), modest self-presentation, and an orientation toward building others up rather than putting them down. People who embody heroic humility not only demonstrate instances of great humility, but practice it throughout their lives, even when severely tested. Thus, this book likens the formation of a humble character to a hero amp rsquo s journey, with a amp ldquo call, amp rdquo a passage through challenges and temptations, a descent into abyss, and redemption.
An impressive array of examples-such as Mother Teresa, Malala Yousafzai, and Abraham Lincoln-illustrates that no two heroic journeys are identical. This insightful volume challenges readers to embark on their own journey of heroic humility in their work, service, and personal lives.
