-Bruce Greyson, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia School of Medicine Do you shy away from conflict? Do you tend to over- or under-react during disagreements? Is it difficult for you to rise above a painful problem in a relationship?

If so, you're not alone. We all experience conflict on a daily basis, whether it's with another person like a coworker or boss, or in a "triangle" with two other people such as in a family relationship. Dealing with strife isn't easy because most of us don't clearly understand one of the most critical yet overlooked skills to successful relationships: humility - and how to best express it.

From four of America's top experts on emotional healing, spirituality and recovery, comes a new approach to solving the conflicts that cause us both physical and emotional stress. Bestselling author Charles Whitfield and three leading experts explain that having humility doesn't mean being a doormat or turning the other cheek - it's about being authentic, open and understanding.

Using case studies, cutting-edge clinical research and compelling narrative, they show you how to harness the power of humility in your own life--at home, at work and in your community. By doing so, you will be able to speak your mind, get things accomplished more harmoniously and feel more satisfied with yourself and your relationships.

Let The Power of Humility show you how to have peace in your life.

Publisher Description:
Throughout our life, at each moment, from each conflict that arises throughout every day, we are given the power to choose. We all face challenges in our relationships and Dr. Whitfield gives us the secret to meeting each challenge and how to make the best choice when faced with hard decisions and irrational emotions. Using the same questions he has asked his patients, Dr. Whitfield asks readers:
  • Do you choose to protect your point of view, your position, and your ego's limited perceptions? Or do you choose humility: open-mindedness, curiosity, and tolerance?
  • Do you choose to play the victim, to persecute or to rescue? Or do you choose humility: to motivate, nurture, and empower?
  • Do you choose separation, or through humility, inclusion?

These are the lessons taught in The Power of Humility. Simple, easy to understand, yet life changing, Dr. Whitfield teaches us that by accepting our humility we invite peace, love, joy, and gratitude into our life and our relationships.
