Mastering Character teaches skills used by classical philosophers, especially the Stoic philosophers, to train the mind and body and to build character. Practical exercises are included for personal use. A class structure format is included for group work. The work is intended for middle school to high school students as a weekly addition to the regular course of study. The work may also be used in individual study, outside of a group setting. For institutions or home schools purchasing the curriculum, Dr. Mottern offers live support on how to implement the curriculum.

NOTE: Do not be frightened of the Greek words that are used throughout the text. These are used to provide an authentic feel for the history of the techniques, real techniques that have been used by real people for hundreds and thousands of years for self-improvement. These are mainly found in the sections entitled, Armamentarium. The Armamentarium was the Stoic philosopher's toolbox of skills practiced as a way to develop unshakeable character and live the Good Life. Pronunciation of the terms is unimportant compared to the concepts they explain. Focus on the concepts and actual practice of the techniques. This is not a course in Greek language.
