I am a first time author and self publisher. I have written a novel which has been described as a new genre - sci phi in that it is set in a futuristic society (sci fi) but is based on the wisdom of Aristotle and other ancient Greek philosophers (phi).

However this is not just a novel but also a holistic concept, in that it incorpoartes a character development workshop to go with the release of the book.I will be promoting this throuout Europe in the coming months.

The workshop is designed to provide practical data about how to develop character using Aristotle's wisdom. It is primarily for use by parents and teachers to provide essential examples for kids and give them some worthwhile role models for life. It can also be used by employees in to help deal with the stresses of corporate life.

It is based on a very simple technique (called techne) which helps to focus attention on positive decisions.
