Opis

Times are changing and nowhere is this more the case than in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and broader Middle East/North African region; world-class infrastructure developments, massive strides in health and higher education, and plenty of youth for a promising future! Yet, is "more" all that is needed? With strong economic growth and international competitiveness also come the need for integrity, leadership, persistence, honesty, social intelligence, kindness, fairness and tolerance... in short, good character, to effectively drive this growth. While morals may seem old school in an era of social media likes and brash egos, people of good character really do get ahead and more importantly, stay ahead over time. Rooted in positive psychology and written by a psychologist and professor in the UAE, this facilitator's manual teaches the skills to boost the 24 known character strengths determined to be worthy across multiple cultures and faiths around the world. It is what every parent and educator has wished for, and what every young adult strives to be.
