How to Build Character Through Habits, Purpose, and Play With Dr. Arthur Schwartz
In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Arthur Schwartz, President of Character.org and a leading voice in moral development, we explore what it really takes to build character and live with purpose.
We discuss:
- What Really Drives Action: Why character is about behavior, not just beliefs, and how to act on what matters most.
- The Power of Purpose: How even simple goals (like a push-up contest) can provide meaning and motivation.
- Rewiring Your Inner Voice: How to reshape negative self-talk through daily value-based habits.
- The Role of Environment and Culture: How your surroundings shape your character…and how to build the culture you need to grow.
Challenge:
Find an image that represents the kind of character you want to build, and keep it somewhere visible as a daily reminder.
