Summary

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.

infinite number of tries to get it just right.

0:17.4

So those things created a pressure for us that raise an external standard of what it means to be validated, what it means to be worthy, what it means to be enough.

And I think humility is liberatory.

0:29.0

I think what humility does is it centers us on a sense of security in which we remember that our sense of

worth and value is inherent that we're already loved, we're already enough, we're

already worthy apart from what other cultural standards around us might say,
