"This book offers a new but ancient perspective
on teaching virtues.
Like the American Indian people who practiced
it for thousands of
years, it does not allow us to separate
character from content, and
by this, makes it possible for us all
to 'walk the talk.' "
--Sunita Gandhi,
President-Worker, The Council for Global
Education and Dignity
"brilliantly written, utterly practical"
