They believe that having a well-rounded perspective on your place in the vastness of the world naturally leads to humility. Humility is the understanding that we\u2019re all flawed, and therefore no one is better or more important than anyone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you want to become more humble, Neil Degrasse Tyson suggests starting with the study of astrophysics. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/astrophysics-for-people-in-a-hurry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Astrophysics for People in a Hurry<\/em><\/a>, he argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/astrophysics-for-people-in-a-hurry#why-study-astrophysics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the vastness of the universe reminds you that people, and especially you, aren\u2019t the center of the universe<\/a>. In the grand scheme of things, human differences are trivial compared to what we have in common as a species.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humility allows you to understand your limited capacity to control the world or address the totality of its problems. Knowing you can\u2019t address these challenges alone will naturally lead you to work more with others and, in doing so, you\u2019ll gain a greater appreciation for our interdependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Shifting the Paradigm: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">Independence<\/a> to Interdependence<\/strong><br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/first-things-first\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>First Things First<\/em><\/a>, Stephen Covey argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/first-things-first-archive-v1\/part-3-chapter-11#the-paradigm-of-independence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our society tends to overvalue independence, always attributing success (or failure) to the individual<\/a>. While he acknowledges that independence is important, our hyperfocus on independence comes with a cost. An independence paradigm focuses on individual production, which often causes people to neglect their personal needs or devalue time spent helping others or building relationships.&nbsp;<br><br>The paradigm of interdependence, on the other hand, states that individuals can\u2019t live independently from one another. We necessarily rely on each other to live, work, and thrive. Covey suggests that shifting your orientation from independence to interdependence will provide you with greater life satisfaction in the knowledge that you\u2019re contributing to the collective good.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike humility, <strong>arrogance, or the belief that we\u2019re better or more special than others, leads to loneliness. <\/strong>If you can\u2019t acknowledge your flaws, or your capacity for both productive and destructive behavior, then you won\u2019t be able to form authentic connections with other people. This lack of vulnerability and self-awareness will keep people at a distance. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/when-we-dont-understand\/\">if you don\u2019t understand<\/a> the important role other people play in your life, you can\u2019t appreciate humanity\u2019s interdependence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-new-earth\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>A New Earth<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Eckhart Tolle contends that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-new-earth#the-current-state-of-humanity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">humanity\u2019s arrogance not only leads to loneliness but has also caused immeasurable harm to our species and the planet.<\/a> He argues that we\u2019re controlled by our egos, which drives us to seek fulfillment through ownership and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/feeling-superior\/\">feeling superior<\/a> to others. This in turn drives consumerism, war, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/define-environmental-degradation\/\">environmental degradation<\/a>. He argues that only by cultivating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">mindfulness<\/a>, and becoming aware of the destructive tendencies of our ego-driven behavior, can we save humankind and the planet.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tutu and the Dalai Lama clarify that just because you\u2019re not special doesn\u2019t mean that you aren\u2019t important. Every person has gifts to bring to the world. When you\u2019re humble, you can celebrate and share your gifts, while also honoring the gifts that other people bring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Jen Sincero, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/you-are-a-badass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>You Are a Badass<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>claims that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/you-are-a-badass\/chapter-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">everyone is born with a unique and valuable gift.<\/a> Figuring out what that gift is will give your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/find-purpose-in-your-life\/\">life purpose<\/a> and meaning.
