100 Lessons on Doing the Right Thing in 100 Words or Less

DOING THE RIGHT THING: You want to do the right thing, but you're not always sure what the right thing is. You think that people's values are a matter of personal belief, but that some people's beliefs are just plain wrong. From practical questions-Should I eat meat? Is it always wrong to kill? Is there a duty to give to charity?-to fundamental questions about the nature of ethics-Are there universal values? Does morality depend on religion? What do words like 'right' and 'good' mean?-this collection helps you to think through the big issues. After that, it's up to you. We all know that we don't read enough-but don't beat yourself up-read a little, you can still learn a lot. Read between sets at the gym, on your way to work, while queuing at the bank, or even wind down with a few lessons at bedtime. Dip in, dip out, learn something new along the way. Try it-you might just like it.
