In I Bet You Think This Book is About You, Chad Veach has written a book about our ego and how pride affects our life negatively and how we can in turn to becoming humble. He begins about how pride has gotten in our way before in apologizing to a friend or family member we have wronged, pride might have cause us to treat others rudely, or it could have kept us from learning a new skill. Pride makes us want to look good and achieve fame. We are determined to get our own way. We want to promote ourselves and make ourselves look good. And there is countless exampled found in Proverbs about the dangers of pride. Instead, he teaches readers on how we can display humility. Some of these include listening more than you talk, treat people with respect, apologize quickly, admit your mistakes, not easily offended, you study to learn more, seek feedback to improve, just to name a few. He explained how even Google admits to searching for job candidates that display humility and they are willing to step back and embrace and listen to the ideas of others. They believe this helps you learn and grow.
One of my favorite things was about the humility test. These included the service test and choosing to do things we might consider below us. The failure test and how we get back up after experiencing a setback. The delay test and how to wait the waiting periods. The criticism test and handling the negative comment we face. The comparison test and can we allow someone to be better than us and not get jealous. Another helpful area was about the humility cycle and how we can relearn how to be humble.
I would recommend this life changing book about becoming humble to anyone who is ready to break free from their ego’s and they are tired of living for only themselves and they are seeking more happiness. It was interesting learning more about pride and how we can avoid falling into the pitfalls. I have read all of his other books and he just keep digging deeper into scriptures and sharing principles that will change our lives.
