Présentation de l'éditeur

We live in a world where we re constantly told what s right and we re losing the ability to work it out for ourselves. From parents to teachers, from preachers to the boss, we re told, do this; don t do that; here s your bonus; or you re fired. Then we struggle when confronted by a moral dilemma where rules don t tell us what to do, or where what s legal doesn t feel right. Ethicability helps us to decide what s right and then find the courage to do it. It is based on a clear, concise and robust model which combines insights from 3,000 years of moral philosophy and the latest scientific research into human psychology and behaviour. In just 20 questions, ethicability enables us to understand and resolve a wide range of moral dilemmas in a format which has been tried and tested by groups as diverse as investment bankers, health practitioners, and the security services. Ethicability then helps us to find the courage to do the right thing because we now have the confidence that we have made the best decision we can, having considered everyone and everything involved. Deciding what s right doesn t always mean immediate success or even happiness, because life isn t a playground. Ethicability is about being good, doing right, and leaving the world a better place.
