Ruti's The Call of Character

From my inbox: This looks intriguing (link is to first chapter): The Call of Character: Living a Life Worth Living. "Self-Fashioning" of course has a seemingly inescapable ring of self-indulgence (as Ruti seems aware), but the kind of passionate if idiosyncratic living that Ruti appears interested in is probably often going to be part of a life that is much more concerned with something other than self.
