The Quiet Power of Being Humble with Daryl Van Tongeren • 242

We will learn:

• The common barriers that make it hard for us to look at ourselves in an unbiased way. 
• How to ask for feedback and respond non-defensively. 
• How to embody humble ambition. 

Whatever happened to humility? 

Everyone in the world seems to have their personal brand: this is who I am and what I’ve done and how I look and everyone should follow me.

The algorithm feeds our narcissism and as we’ve heard in several recent episodes, we’re literally living in a narcissism epidemic.

So if society is built to reward narcissistic behavior, how do we consciously choose to balance out?

Today we’re talking about how and why to be humble. 

Our guest is Daryl Van Tongeren. He says that 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.
