Today I sit down with Alexandre Havard, author and international speaker, to discuss the relationship between the four temperaments and virtue. We discuss what we can learn from the story of Jerome Lejeune, each temperament’s virtues and vices, why the temperaments are important to learn, the temperaments of different saints, how to use knowledge of your temperament to develop virtue, how your character represents who you are moreso than your temperament, and much more.
