For one to be strong, one must first be meek. What seems like contradiction is anything but in The Paradox of Strength: When and Why Meekness Is Not a Weakness. This audiobook explores the complex relationship of meekness and strength, and how flaunting the latter is often not the correct response.

By applying paradox theory, the audiobook deconstructs the concepts of strength and meekness. Can strength actually hold you back from pursuing your ambitions? Can meekness open us to diverse opportunities? Through explanation and anecdotes, the audiobook will prove the harmful effects of psychological strength and offer an alternative: humility and meekness. Each chapter examines the importance of psychological growth, and will cover topics such as:

  • Love, kindness, and social intelligence
  • The monolithic schema of psychological strength
  • Fostering a secure attachment style, 
  • The importance of harnessing the power of humility,
  • And more!
  • Unclench your fists and raise your open palms to achieve a different kind of resilience. One that bends and sways in the raging storm. Pick up The Paradox of Strength: When and Why Meekness Is Not a Weakness, and learn how the meek shall inherit the Earth.
