Philosophy and psychology have always been interwoven; the structure of our ideas and the function of our minds impel one another to color and shape our perceptions of the world around us. Few things will provide for good mental health better than the satisfaction of knowing that the choices you make are ethically sound. This remarkable book, written by an esteemed psychologist and ethicist from Santa Clara and Stanford universities, explores the process that underlies the hard choices we make and describes a system that anyone can use to do the right thing in his or her daily life.

The book begins with one of the finest concise introductions to ethical systems ever written for general audiences. Then it describes the ICRRC system of ethical processing, in which integrity, competence, responsibility, respect, and concern are considered to establish a rationale for making any decision. The engaging and readable text is enriched with anecdotes and step-by-step exercises that reinforce the strategies of each chapter. Youíll take away from the book an excellent understanding of contemporary ethics and a powerful set of decision-making tools that you can easily apply to your daily life.
