The Character Lab is a new series on In Search of Wisdom designed to explore various aspects of character development. The series is a joint venture with my friend and previous podcast guest, Shane Trotter (author of Setting the Bar). In this episode, Shane and I introduce the new series and discuss the importance of character formation in today’s society. We explore the impact of technology on character development, the role of community in shaping character, the need for shared virtues, and much more. 

Key Takeaways

  • Character formation is more important than ever in today's society.
  • Community plays a crucial role in character formation, providing support, mentorship, and shared values.
  • Recognizing and avoiding vices is essential to character formation, as they can hinder personal growth.
  • Pursuing wisdom and developing virtues are lifelong practices that contribute to personal growth and a meaningful life.
