Time for a post about this wonderful book. It’s called The Road to Character and I had to read it for a sociology class this semester but don’t let that deter you. It’s an incredible book than explains through different historical figures what it takes to build character. There’s so many great examples of people and so many life lessons to be learned. My perspective of the world was changed by this book. 10/10 recommend. Go read it. It’ll change your life. #byui #scrollsnap #sociology #bookrecommendation
