|a What makes someone a hero? Despite what our culture typically celebrates, it's not fame, power, money, creative talent, athletic ability, or good looks. No, heroism springs from character, the critical element that defines a person. The good news is that character is something every one of us can mold; it is simply the sum of the choices we make as we face new challenges and opportunities. And here's even better news: this lively, accessible book gives you real, flesh-and-blood models of character, courage, and conviction--men and women you won't just admire but also can emulate.
