Happiness Through Humanism: 10 Virtues

What does it mean to be a virtuous person? Can virtuous people still have fun?

The School of Life in London issued a list of 10 virtues for the modern age. There is a reason people keep coming up with these sorts of lists. It turns out that to be good, we actually have to remind ourselves to be good and having a list of some sort to guide us provides a handy easy to remember reference list to consider when considering our actions.

They view this as a project to foster public dialogue about what it means to be a good person. I endorse that goal whole heartedly. I just hate lists of 10.

I prefer lists of three instead. Easy to remember and count on one hand.

So here is my list.
