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. The book likens the formation of a humble character to a hero’s journey and uses inspiring examples to show that no two heroes’ journeys are identical. In this age of selfies, instant celebrity, and corporate scandals, the need for greater humility is pressing. Readers are challenged to pursue their own journey of heroic humility in their work, service, and personal lives.
