ABSTRACT
This chapter offers a theoretical model for how humility is connected to health and reviews evidence relevant to the model. We begin by considering the nature of humility and offer a definition. We then provide a theoretical model and review the scant scientific literature on humility and health. Given the dearth of work in this area, we consider limitations; outline research questions and recommendations for future work; and conclude with a discussion of practical implications for health, healthcare, and the broader public.
