"I'm not a good person."
Seriously, who says that?
Practically everyone, from priests to prisoners, thinks of themselves as morally better than average. So why change our minds? What good could possibly come from admitting that most of us are far more self-righteous than righteous?
In this book, Brant Hansen makes an entertaining and insightful case that we can find great freedom in admitting we're not so wonderful after all. In his conversational, fun-to-read, and delightfully self-effacing style, Hansen draws from biblical insight and the work of everyone from esteemed social psychologists to comedians to show that the sooner we get over ourselves and admit the truth, the sooner we can
● improve relationships
● be better thinkers and listeners
● be someone that's fun to be around
● find the freedom to live a more lighthearted, fruitful, fun-loving life
Because the humble life is truly your best one.
