Awakening the Quieter Virtues: Shouting Softly in a Noisy World

In this updated and expanded version, we are treated to more timeless insights and expressions of communication wisdom. Big, colorful virtues like courage and decisiveness in crisis easily get our attention. But more often it is those everyday values like humility and authenticity and moderation that shape us much more profoundly. Lost in our noisy, flashy, gaudy, and hyper-connected world are the quiet virtues that work behind the scenes to mold our character and enrich our lives. The author unfolds the beauty and nature of each virtue, showing us how to take notice of discernment, innocence, generosity, authenticity, and more. In this book you will discover how far from being dull these quieter virtues are. Though often hidden, they play a formative role in who we become and what we do in every aspect of our lives.
