Humble and Awake: Coping with our Comatose Culture

by Thomas G. Casey

In Humble and Awake, Thomas Casey presents the overlooked virtue of humility as a cure to the coma that grips our culture. The examples of the coma are everywhere, from the brutality of our time through the ruining of our environment to our cultural embrace of the seven deadly sins. We are misled, asleep, unaware of our true condition, self-deceived. A radical reassessment is needed, and humility alone can awaken us. Casey draws on diverse sources - literature, film, philosophy, popular culture - to offer a readable and challenging, frequently moving, meditation on where we really are and what we need to do to awaken.
