Steal my strategy: I give this book to each of my teenagers before they leave for college.
A straightforward book with short chapters, this is a quick read that describes the steps to personal growth by finding the courage to do the right thing naturally and consistently.
If you have a recent graduate (or a child in the last few years of high school), get this book:
This book shows how to overcome the most formidable obstacle to an ethical life: ourselves.
An inescapable truth lies at the heart of this simple yet profound book: The quality of our lives is not determined by the happenstance of genetics or by the influence of environment. On the contrary, the intrinsic value of the lives we lead reflects the strength of a single trait: our personal character.
By cultivating the habits of virtue, we will strengthen not only ourselves but, more importantly, our families and our world.
Your high school and college students (and you!) need this easy-to-read, with great “further reading” documentation!
