"In its true sense, humbleness is the happy medium between self-denial and self-obsession: It grants the holder an accurate view of reality." Humility is such a wonderful trait to develop but it can really be a struggle to maintain these days. This was a wake up call to me and was so insightful. Great work, Daryl Van Tongeren.

Really informative and interesting book. I found the author well versed in the topic. Being humble is a great virtue and this book explains it nicely.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book.

A book with a great idea but failed to be readable by a layperson wanting to improve their understanding.

I really struggled to read this book and truthfully I didn't get very far into it before giving up. As far as self-help goes, the premise on this book is great, but the writing style could be very off-putting at times.

I received an electronic ARC from The Experiment through NetGalley.
Though portions read more like a textbook than self-help guide, Van Tongeren offers excellent points and suggestions to live a more humble life. The book begins with explaining various types of humility - relational, intellectual, cultural, existential, and defines these for readers. The author then explores each and offers tools for readers to examine their lives and reflect on changes they may choose to make. Van Tongeren backs his statements with research support. The final chapters offer practical tips and guidelines for evaluating our own lives and making changes if needed.
This is one to digest and pause as you read. I appreciate the support offered by the author and the acknowledgment that this is not a "quick fix" for lives.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher of this novel for the E-Arc copy. I am rating this book based on my own personal opinion and was not given anything in return. I am not leaving a entire review because I read so many at a time that I physically cannot right now.

The science and wisdom compiled in this book are so valuable and desperately needed. I wish the writing were more engaging. Far too many sentences present bland generalizations with "We need...," "We should...," and "We might..." Far too many sentences begin with "Humility is...," "Humility can..." Books of this nature are hard to write, but this one needs better organization, more illustrative stories, and fewer broad generalizations. I'll be interested to try it as an audiobook. Thanks very much for access to the ARC.
