Moral Courage

What gives us the strength to stand up for what we believe?The topic of moral courage is front and center in today's culture. Corporate corruption, abusive priests, cheating students, domestic violence -- all these remind us that taking ethical stands should be every individual's highest priority. Rushworth Kidder's remarkable book defines key concepts and gives us indispensable tools, equipping us to respond to the increasingly complicated moral challenges we face at work, at home, and in our communities, enabling us to make clear, confident decisions by exploring such questions as:Is the benefit worth the risk?Am I motivated by my desire to uphold my beliefs or to impose them on others?Will my actions create collateral damage among those with no stake in the outcome?While physical courage may no longer be a necessary survival skill in society, moral courage is the true gauge of our maturity and civilization. This essential guidebook will help lead us to a clear understanding of what moral courage is, what it does, and how to get it.
