A sense of self, a sense of others, a sense of purpose… 
How will you become the greatest you can be? 

Researchers in positive psychology have recently developed a palette of fundamental human character strengths.  These 24 VIA* Strengths combine in an almost infinite number of ways to create the breathtaking diversity of the human character.  Research has shown that the 24 VIA Strengths are ones that are recognized and valued by cultures worldwide.

The 24 VIA Strengths cover a wide range of human characteristics that describe the varied expressions of our courage, justice, humanity, spirituality, self-control, and wisdom.  Each one of us has our own “signature strengths” – a cluster of personal qualities that best define the essence of who we are.  When you know your character strengths, you can build on them and express them fully in your life.  And by being true to your character, you’ll be taking critical steps to becoming the greatest you can be.

* Values in Action Institute (VIA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people identify their own unique character strengths.  The Values in Action Institute is an initiative of the Manuel D. and Rhoda Mayerson Foundation.
