The Truth about Us: The Very Good News about How Very Bad We AreWhat would happen if you admitted you weren't a good person? It's a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they're morally better than average. Why change our minds? Why admit the truth about ourselves? In his conversational, fun to read, and delightfully self effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing.

What would happen if you admitted you weren't a good person?It's a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they're morally better than average. Why change our minds? Why admit the truth about ourselves?
In his conversational, fun-to-read, and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing. What's more, just admitting that we're profoundly biased toward ourselves and want desperately to preserve our "rightness" at all costs even helps us think better, make better decisions, be better listeners, and improve our relationships with God and others.
Hansen draws from biblical insight and the work of everyone from esteemed social psychologists to comedians to make his point: the sooner we get over ourselves, give up the "I'm good" internal dialogue, and admit the truth, the sooner we can live a more lighthearted, fruitful, fun-loving life.
This book is about the freedom of childlike humility. After all, as Hansen writes, the humble life is truly your best one.

Accidentally ordered the workbook
Format: Paperback
I thought I was ordering the book, but got the workbook by accident. It looks really good! Keeping it, off to order the actual book instead. 🏃♀️

Chapter 24 missing from the book
Format: Paperback
A friend and I wanted to do this study of NT Wrights New Testament in It's World. It's a very large book and has 37 chapters. Well, last week when we were talking about the next chapters to read I realized I have 2 chapter 23 and chapter 24 is missing. Missing!! How do you have a 1000 page book and you're missing a chapter. I'm obviously after the point of getting a replacement from Amazon and the publisher will not replace it because I didn't purchase from them. What the heck. I'm very disappointed. The book is wonderful and I want to be made whole. I've submitted 2 requests to Amazon (one today and one 5 days ago) and have not heard anything from them. If you buy this book, look through and make sure you have all the chapters you are supposed to have.
