The Six Pillars of Character
The Josephson Institute is an organization whose mission is to improve the ethical commitment, competence, and practice in all segments of society. (It is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian, nonprofit organization.) I have read and reminded myself of these Six Pillars many times over the past twenty years. Sometimes, it's not that we need to learn something new, but we need reminding of what we already know. Visit their website, and enjoy much more.
