You Be Virtuous Too is for anyone at work who wants to bring more of their best character into what they do each day.
It draws on the classification of character strengths and virtues from positive psychology, which looks at what is right with people. It helps you recognise your own strongest qualities and build them, knowing that character strengths can be cultivated through intentional practice.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow six virtues and the strengths within them: Wisdom and Knowledge, with curiosity and perspective; Courage, with perseverance and honesty; Humanity, with kindness; Justice, with teamwork, fairness and leadership; Temperance, with humility and self-regulation; and Transcendence, with gratitude, hope and humour.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf. Each card invites you to reflect on its quotes and choose one that speaks to you today. I suggest you begin with the first virtue, Wisdom and Knowledge, or with a strength you already recognise in yourself.
