About This Book

A collection of five addresses aimed at young men that uses portraits of youthful figures, drawn from sacred texts and historical examples, to explore moral and practical formation. Topics include the hazards of favoritism and vanity, the discipline cultivated by athletic and strenuous life, the burdens of authority and wealth, the risks of inherited privilege, and the qualities that enable individuals to reshape their era. Each essay blends moral counsel, reflections on adversity and prosperity, and advice on cultivating character and public service.
