"e;Character"e; has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but        this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what        someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one        that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an        individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we        define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can        character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who        might be the most effective teacher? What roles are played by family, schools, the        media, religion, and the larger culture? This groundbreaking handbook of character        strengths and virtues is the first progress report from a prestigious group of        researchers who have undertaken the systematic classification and measurement of        widely valued positive traits. They approach good character in terms of separate        strengths-authenticity, persistence, kindness, gratitude, hope, humor, and so        on-each of which exists in degrees.Character Strengths and Virtues classifies        twenty-four specific strengths under six broad virtues that consistently emerge        across history and culture: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and        transcendence. Each strength is thoroughly examined in its own chapter, with special        attention to its meaning, explanation, measurement, causes, correlates,        consequences, and development across the life span, as well as to strategies for its        deliberate cultivation. This book demands the attention of anyone interested in        psychology and what it can teach about the good life.
