The Road to Character

(1)
This resource contains seven lectures (lessons) about character development based on the book by David Brooks called ‘The Road to Character’. Each lecture focuses on a different aspect of character development with particular reference to a historical figure from the ‘Great Generation’ (born pre-1940)in the United States; The Summoned Self - Frances Perkins Self Examination - Dorothy Day Self Conquest - Dwight Eisenhower Self Respect - Asa Philip Randolph Self Mastery - George Marshall Self Determination - Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan Big Self and Little Self - Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath The lectures focus on how different people developed through their early life, college career, working life and their life achievement.
