After a career of service, retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal had much to contemplate. He pondered his successes and failures, his beliefs and aspirations, and asked himself, Who am I, really? And more importantly, who have I become? When I die, how will I be measured?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, McChrystal came to a conclusion as simple as it was profound: the reality of who we are cannot be recorded in dates or accomplishments. It is found in our character—the most accurate, and last full measure, of who we choose to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eOn Character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers McChrystal’s blueprint for living with purpose and integrity, challenging us to examine not just our deeds but who we become through them.
