This book provides a wealth of sophisticated yet accessible lessons for improving our ability to perceive and choose "the right thing to do" in a variety of circumstances. Through stories, examples, and engaging philosophical discussions, the book offers real-world guidance for addressing the troubling ethical choices we all face in our personal relationships and working lives, and those we make in regard to the environment and our future.
Based on Shapiro's belief that each of us can learn to make better choices - choices that more accurately reflect our deepest values and which, as a result, are more likely to sustain and enhance the moral legacy we hope to leave - the book offers a rich palette or principles and strategies for making moral decisions. The book is relevant to all individuals, regardless of their own philosophical or theological perspectives.
