Everyday Ethics: Inspired Solutions for Real-Life Dilemmas
Joshua Halberstam—Booklist
In
an age when most of us spend more time thinking about what movie we’ll
see than about how we want to lead our lives, nothing could be more
timely and helpful than Everyday Ethics. In this refreshingly original book, Joshua Halberstam shows us how to develop a moral imagination—and have fun while doing it.
Halberstam
demolishes the clichés of both religion and psychotherapy and entices
us into looking at the small actions that make up the big picture of our
character and values. Should we really refrain from making judgments?
Should we let our conscience be our guide even if it urges us not to pay
our taxes? Halberstam has something intriguing to say about these and
many other issues. Witty and entertaining, Everyday Ethics is the moral equivalent of an aerobic dance session, as exhilarating as it is instructive.
