One of the roots of humility comes from Latin and it means "from earth." Humility is about being grounded and recognizing that we're humans, flawed, and fallible.

This second part of my conversation with Steve Hayes, PhD., co-founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), is about the role of humility in science, in our lives, and in our belief systems.

You will hear specifically:

(1) How Steve cultivates humility as a scientist

(2) How Steve keeps himself humble and checks his ego

(3) How behavioral science invites all of us to be humble with our beliefs

(4) How behavioral science offers us a lens to understand polarized messages

(5) And whom Steve would like to have a chat with!
