About this quote

In Conquering Self-Centeredness (1957), King uses a collective appeal to examine self awareness, with attention to thing, centeredness. The practical center is the relationship between wisdom and thing and centeredness, giving readers a specific lens for judgment and action.

When to use it

  • A community organizer builds a meeting around thing before participants choose one measurable action related to self awareness.
  • A teacher pairs the passage from Conquering Self-Centeredness (1957) with a primary-source exercise about wisdom and public responsibility.
  • A team leader uses the tension between centeredness and centeredness to discuss conduct under pressure.
