(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"Popular WAY-FM radio host and podcaster uses stories, humor, and fascinating cultural research to challenge us to get over ourselves and grasp the biblical truth that we aren't really "good people"--and that this is good news for all of us!"--

"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. It can help us improve relationships, be better thinkers and listeners, and even make us more fun to be around. 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're free to live a ore lighthearted, fruitful, fun-loving life. Because the humble life is truly your best one."--
