In 2023, celebrating the AHA Center for Education’s 5th Anniversary, we focused on one of the Ten Commitments each month. For October we explored Humility.
Humility is often considered an antiquated virtue. However, modern psychological science confirms ancient wisdom: humility helps improve our relationships, work, and societies. Daryl R. Van Tongeren reviews cutting-edge research on humility, and discuss why we need humility now more than ever.
