"How does one live a moral, kind, giving life in today's world? This book offers discussions, ideas, advice, and lots of sidebars to dig into and to ponder." --Bookworm Sez

"This book explores a variety of moral issues through real-life examples, including promise keeping, lying, adultery, favoring friends and loved ones, harming innocent people for the good of the majority, and the obligation to give to charity. Using common issues, it explores different points of view to illustrate how people make moral judgments and decisions." --The Oklahoman

"This book is timely and explores ethical questions ... What's new about Gelfand's book is the claim that persons with quite different moral, political, and policy positions actually have a shared commitment to a variety of fundamental premises regarding what's ethical. Realizing this will be of real value to a great many readers." --Daniel Sullivan, Ph.D., President Emeritus of St. Lawrence University

"There are any number of reasons to love this book, but perhaps the most immediate one is that, at a moment of deep public disillusionment, "Thinking Ethically" shows us a path to hope. In clear and accessible prose, Scott Gelfand makes a reasoned, common-sense case for believing that we are not as different from one another as we might think, and he also gives us a morally complex but practicable method for connecting both to our best selves, and to others." --Mark Brewin, Ph.D. Dr. Brewin Associate Professor Communications University of Tulsa
