单集简介 ...

Tenelle Porter’s job is to study humility. Specifically, intellectual humility, the idea that we might be wrong or mistaken about some of our beliefs. Tenelle talks with Chris about why she thinks intellectual humility is so important, how to cultivate it, and why it’s the missing piece in so many conversations these days. Whether it’s in politics, academia or social media, Tenelle argues discovering you are wrong doesn’t have to be a painful realization, rather it can lead to positive discovery.

  • You're listening to how to Be a Better Human.

  • I am your host, Chris Duffy.

  • One thing about me is that no one has ever accused me of having a small head.

  • I have a big head.

  • Both literally in that I have trouble finding hats that fit,

  • and figuratively in that I think

  • that I should stand on stage and have audiences of strangers listen to me talk.

  • And I host a podcast called how to Be a Better Human.

  • Humility not really my strong suit.

  • Today's guest, Tenille Porter, is a professor and a researcher who studies humility.

  • She's an important person for me to talk to,

  • but Tennille studies a very specific kind of humility, intellectual humility.

  • And that's actually a term that I had never heard of before meeting her,

  • and now it's one that I cannot stop thinking about.

  • Intellectual humility seems to me

  • like it is the key piece that is missing from so many conversations in the world today.

  • It really feels like this is something that more people need to know about.

  • And here's how Tenille defines intellectual humility.

  • Intellectual humility means understanding what you don't know and recognizing

  • that you might be wrong.
