Product Description:
Should you take a much-needed vacation or save money for your children’s education? Should you protect the endangered owl or maintain jobs forloggers?
How do you handle questions such as these? We frequently face ethical dilemmas in our daily lives, and few have trouble with the “right vs. wrong” choices. However, the “right vs. right” dilemmas, in which neither choice is clearly or widely accepted as wrong, many times present obstacles that call for value-based decisions, and that’s where we often need help.
Kidder -- the founder of the Institute for Global Ethics -- teaches us how to think for ourselves in order to resolve any ethical dilemma, from the personal to the philosophical. Unique in its approach and full of illustrative anecdotes, How Good People Make Tough Choices is an indispensable resource for arriving at sound conclusions when facing tough choices.

Rushworth Kidder is a wonderful writer and thinker and has devoted 20+ years to promoting ethics and integrity. This book does a wonderful job presenting dilemmas, getting you to think about how you might handle them, and providing clear advice on how to evaluate such issues. That's all good. The problem is that it was written almost 15 years ago and it shows. While much of the information is timeless, many of the studies cited are from the early 90s. This would be fabulous if updated.

This is a book that I purchased for one of the HR Supervisors at my job, he attended a conference where they were quouting from the book and he was so enlighted by what the speaker was refrencing that he had to go and get a copy. So far he enjoys the book and encourages people to get a copy for themselves, so overall I say this is a good investment for those in doubt of purchasing.

There are no books on the market that address morality that way that this book does. Not the Bible. Not my university textbook on ethics. None. It's one thing to talk about moral issues and take sides with them, but it is another thing entirely to talk about solid moral principles that can guide you in making moral decisions based on reason instead of blind faith. This is a book that does the talking.
If you want to find out what a religion or a moral philosophy is really made of, nothing ... Read More

The book is a little confusing and doesn't offer a lot of insights on the decisions of real life ethical probelms with real life people.
Rating:  -
Good information but not something I would read again. Very dry chapters and some lack any formal directions on the proposed information.
