The Cost of Ambition How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse Miroslav Volf Internationally renowned theologian Miroslav Volf argues that rather than im- proving us as individuals and as a society, our ambition to be better than others actually diminishes us. “Volf guides the reader through the origins of the pervasive yet misguided need to prove one’s superiority and the multitude of problems that such striving creates. Simultaneously humane and scholarly, psychologically astute and theologically sound, Volf suggests that deliverance from this predicament can only come from the proper recognition of the generosity of the glorious and gifting God.”— Robert Emmons, editor in chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology ; author of Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier and The Little Book of Gratitude Miroslav Volf (DrTheol, University of Tübingen) is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and founding director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. He regularly lectures around the world.
