Preface
There is no need to discover how to succeed in character if you are one of the lucky few born with a good predisposition and a nurturing environment. You are most likely already there. However, if you are born without natural ability in this area or a difficult environment, you may struggle with this all of your life. You may spend years discovering all the ways that don’t work before finding one that does.
While it is never too late, the older you are, the more difficult it is to overcome years of less-than-desirable choices and outcomes, even with the best of methods. It is so much more advantageous to start young with something that works so the compounding is in your favor from the beginning. This is especially true for those with challenging or difficult personalities.
Such is the inspiration behind this book. My sole contribution here is to take existing techniques and combine them into a concise secular program for children which is uniform across all religious, cultural, and racial backgrounds. I am grateful to those who have supported this effort, making its publication possible.
