Publisher's Synopsis
The remarkable quality of what it is to be human is exactly what enables us to adapt to a changing, uncertain and complex environment. And hand-in-hand with the ability to learn and adapt is the choice of humility. In the early Greco-Roman world, humility was considered a sign of weakness, and for some that continues today. Yet, humility is very much a virtue that facilitates learning, expansion and connection to others. It is essential for empathizing with others. Communication without empathy may be useful for transmitting data, but not for reaching minds. This little book explores the value of humility in terms of the past, and as an essential quality to move us into the future. This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto. But, you are ready. We live in a world that is tearing itself apart, where people are out of control, rebelling from years of real and perceived abuse and suppression of thought. Yet, this chaos offers us as a humanity the opportunity to make a giant leap forward! By opening ourselves to ourselves, we are able to fully explore who we are. With that exploration comes a glimmer of hope as we begin to reclaim the power of each and every mind developed by the lived human experience!
