True wisdom about SELF MASTERY. This is a booklet about CHARACTER BUILDING includes introduction, with and without character what can be well and wrong with every aspect of life. Narration from the Gita very beautifully quoted here.

A masterpiece....if this booklet cannot help in cultivating a divine character in the reader, then nothing perhaps can.

Budhananda's "How to Build Character: A Primer" is a concise yet profound guide for anyone seeking to cultivate inner strength and integrity. Far from a dry academic text, this pocket-sized book offers practical wisdom distilled into easily digestible principles.
The author skillfully breaks down the complex concept of "character" into actionable steps, emphasizing self-awareness, discipline and ethical conduct. Each chapter feels like a gentle nudge towards personal growth, encouraging readers to reflect on their values and habits. While brief, the book doesn't shy away from the effort required, presenting character building as a continuous journey rather than a destination.
What makes this primer particularly effective is its clarity and lack of pretense. Budhananda's writing is accessible, making profound philosophical ideas relatable to everyday life. It's the kind of book you can return to repeatedly, finding new insights with each read.
This booklet is an excellent starting point for those on a path of self-improvement. It's a small book with a big impact, offering timeless lessons that resonate deeply in our fast-paced world. Highly recommended for anyone looking to lay a solid foundation for a principled life.
