Summary: So-So collection of essays by mostly liberal partisans.
Comment: As a supporter of CHARACTER COUNTS!, I looked forward to reading this book. Having done so, however, I'm disappointed to see it is a collection of mostly liberal views on the issue of character. Mr. Dershowitz' attack on Christians, for example, has no place in a book touting "Character".

Having said that, there are some redeeming qualities, including Dennis Prager's essay, "The Moral Character of Religious and Secular People."

Buy the book, but don't expect to be overwhelmed by it's most of its insights.

Summary: Rich Diversity of Innerstrength
Comment: From a variety of backgrounds but with one thing in mind, the character of a person is the backbone of our civilization. In today's overemphasis on skills and competencies, this book brings us back to the core of humanity, the character of a person. I particularly like the sections on celebration of eccentricity by Kiss, training of leaders by a Naval officer, and the management of emotions by Goleman. A resourceful book for trainers, CEOs, and parents.

Rating: 5
Summary: Forty essays challenge our powerlessness over our character
Comment: I'm in my mid 60's so the book reminded me of what we have lost as a society. What we fail to teach. What we fail to practice. Why we have many of the problems we have. Character Counts! coalition methods will improve our schools, our communities, and our country's civility and pride.
