How to Build Character Through Habits, Purpose, and Play With Dr. Arthur Schwartz
In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Arthur Schwartz, President of Character.org and a leading voice in moral development, we explore what it really takes to build character and live with purpose.
We discuss:
- What Really Drives Action: Why character is about behavior, not just beliefs, and how to act on what matters most.
- The Power of Purpose: How even simple goals (like a push-up contest) can provide meaning and motivation.
- Rewiring Your Inner Voice: How to reshape negative self-talk through daily value-based habits.
- The Role of Environment and Culture: How your surroundings shape your character…and how to build the culture you need to grow.
Challenge:
Find an image that represents the kind of character you want to build, and keep it somewhere visible as a daily reminder.
Resources:
The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
Soar with Your Strengths by Donald O. Clifton
The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt
The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt
