Life is replete with changes. Its terrain can be difficult, even hazardous, to maneuver through. Furthermore, since it is constantly in flux, life can be unpredictable at times. The Four Aces of Character: Grit, Humility, Integrity and Wisdom is a life manual for traversing what can be an unyielding and unforgiving landscape. Figures such as Socrates, Sun Tzu, John and Abigail Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Nelson Mandela, Roman emperors, Stoic philosophers, American Civil War heroes, Roger Staubach, and others grace the pages. Complete with entertaining stories, aphorisms, vignettes and stratagems that all point to creating and establishing solid rock character, my hope is that the book you are holding will inspire and enrich your life. If I have done my job, you will walk away from this work with the fortitude to move through challenges boldly and with a calm assurance. You will have gained a better perspective for wisely engaging interpersonal communication. You will possess a deeper sense of peace and tranquility. You will be less likely to compromise your principles.
