In this episode,  Brooke introduces the theme of humility, emphasizing its importance in the pursuit of true happiness. Joined by Father Basil Cole, we explore the virtue of humility through the lens of literature, particularly Tolkien's Frodo Baggins, and the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. The conversation delves into the role of virtue in human flourishing, the distinction between true humility and counterfeit self-hatred, and practical applications of humility in daily life, including in corporate culture. The episode concludes with a reflection on how humility can lead to true happiness and fulfillment in life.
