This book introduces a course for high school juniors and seniors seeking moral instruction that emphasizes habits of thought, while also assessing the benefits of moral conduct as an end in itself. The author acknowledges that most people focus on the means rather than the end results, but argues that this only leads to nearsighted decision-making. The book begins with guidance on developing intellectual efficiency, reasoning that a well-rounded personality is the foundation for making good choices. Topics include: memory, habits, lying, kindness, forgiveness, wealth, and the nature of success as it relates to happiness. The author argues that while some individuals may have naturally superior minds or bodies, anyone can improve their situation through practice, dedication, and ethical behavior. This book provides thought-provoking questions and discussion topics to encourage young adults to discover their own conclusions regarding how they should live, based on principles of duty and the pursuit of genuine, long-term happiness.
