66. Finding Inner Peace From Common Decency - Colleen Doyle Bryant

“It's the sum of our everyday choices that defines who we are.” so says Colleen Doyle Bryant.

Colleen is an expert on common decency and the author of five books and more than 50 learning resources about character and values. Her latest book, Rooted in Decency, looks at the decline in common decency in society and ways that we can build more trust and cooperation. Colleen’s Talking with Treesseries for elementary students and Truth Be Told Quotes series for teens are used in curriculums around the world with more than 100,000 of her good values resources downloaded each year.

“When you think about it, most of life isn’t about big defining moments—those are few and far between. Really, we create ourselves in the little daily choices that show we’re honest, kind, and responsible. Choice by choice—layer by layer—we create ourselves.” Listen as Colleen shares her insights this and her mission to restore common decency with show host Bill Ellis
