The only works actually written by R. Ovadia that contain mussar are:

  1. Anaf Etz Avot (anthology of commentaries/stories on Tractate Avot
  2. Me’or Israel vol. 3 (collection of sermons and eulogies)
  3. Eulogies printed at end of Chazon Ovadia - Arba’ Ta’aniot
  4. Some mussar appears sporadically in his commentaries to Ruth (pub. in Chazon Ovadia - Yom Tov), Esther (pub. in Chazon Ovadia - Purim) and Passover Haggadah (pub. in Chazon Ovadia - Pesach).

At his Saturday night lectures he would include some words of mussar; some of these lectures were printed in a series called Shiure Ha’Rashal (later repub. in Mishnat Yosef) and a volume entitled Masah Ovadia.

Two other volumes entitled Halichot Mussar is a collection of mussar pieces (and stories) of R. Ovadia.

I don’t think any of the above are online or in English.
