We all want to be good people. But what does this actually mean and how do we move toward this goal? This book examines how the military defines “character,” “virtue,” and becoming a better person. It is NOT meant to be read by only the active duty military. Instead it attempts to take the lessons learned from the military so that we all can benefit from their long standing and successful experience in character building. It is written by a former active duty Army Officer and a Professor of Clinical Psychology. The book has been tested and found to have a number of positive effects. It is short, interesting and impactful.
