Pitino shows how to: Establish focus as a discipline in everything you do: planning, strategy, priorities, and career advancement. Discover the true key to success: not ambition, not wealth, not power, but humility. Use technology wisely--but don't let it replace personal connection with the people you work and live with.

Lower : igniting spiritual awakening through radical humility / by Meerkreebs, Zach,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-242)."Why did a "simple and unremarkable" message at a small college in Kentucky lead to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that continues around the world? Radical Humility, says pastor Zach Meerkreebs. As Zach Meerkreebs ended his sermon on the campus of Asbury University, he prayed, "Jesus, do a new thing in our midst. Revive us by your love." He had preached about love in action and urged students to consider how to love one another authentically, realizing they could not until they experience the real love of God. Before leaving, he challenged, "Do not leave here until you experience the love of God so that you can pour it out." To him, the sermon felt quite ordinary and unremarkable, yet several students remained, praying and worshipping, and others joined them until a crowd formed that grew to over 65,000 and covered the campus and small Kentucky town. As the worshipping and praying continued, for sixteen days and nights, the media began reporting on what came to be called the Asbury Outpouring. In Lower, Zach shares his experiences at the Outpouring and answers his own question, what sparked this revival? Radical humility, he says, is the essential posture to prepare for a fresh move of God. The World, even the church, is full of messages of conquering, climbing, ascending, and being victorious . . . but Jesus invites us to go lower in humility and empty ourselves of our ego and sparkles. With honest self-awareness, we can engage humility-removing whatever blocks get in the way of its formation in our lives. He describes the qualities that form humility, including entering the crucible where our wounds and suffering are refined by holy fire, and the crushing, where we endure pain and grief as Jesus tenderizes our hearts. It's also returning to childlike trust in Him so that we gain confidence to move forward in faith, allowing Him to shape us into the character of Jesus Christ, saturated by lowliness and God's very real, authentic love. With personal stories, Scripture, testimonies from Asbury, wisdom from other Christian writers, and key insights he has received in quiet moments with Jesus, Zach shows readers the path to radical humility and deeper friendship . . . with God. Those at the Asbury Outpouring encountered the presence of Jesus and witnessed healings and revived faith and hope, launching a movement that has spread His abundant love across the globe. As we go lower in our pursuit of humility, we can steward spaces prepared for a move of God and shine Jesus to all those who are watching"--

Worst of all, Dean of Students Octavia Lawless, the one person with the power to reverse the decision, challenges her to work on her humility . . . by not singing at all.

I bet you think this book is about you : how to avoid the pitfalls of pride and gain the rewards of humility / by Veach, Chad,1979-author.(CARDINAL)411675;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-228).No ego, amigo -- Legend in your own mind -- Pride sucks but humility wins -- The humility mindset: How low can you go? -- The fine art of dressing with humility -- Grounded and connected -- There's one God (and you're not him) -- The mirror never lies -- Stop, drop, and love -- The humility cycle -- Conclusion: Can't imagine life without it -- Acknowledgments -- Notes."Popular author, speaker, and pastor of Zoe Church in Los Angeles, Chad Veach tackles one of the Christian's greatest foes: an obsession with self. Ego often sneaks up on us in varying forms of narcissism, subtly turning so much of our attention to our needs and desires that we fail to recognize other people's. The Bible depicts the destructiveness of pride-but have we taken note of the rewards of embracing humbleness? Veach reminds us that God wants us to lead satisfied, successful lives with genuine joy and peace, and humility is the path to get there. A self-proclaimed recovering narcissist, Veach has learned the power of humility. He wants to destigmatize the humility journey by normalizing the need for regular ego checks. A quick reset in attitude in any situation will create a delicate balance between self-denial and self-absorption. Pride will draw us into an endless cycle of striving and conniving, defending and deflecting, racing and competing, but the Bible gives the remedy to stop it-by the power of humility. Amongst the alarming and increasing levels of narcissism in society and the Christian church today, Veach delivers a passionate call for making a simple but fundamental shift in perspective that cultivates humility"--
