Ethics for the Real World: Creating a Personal Code to Guide Decisions in Work and Life

Howard's book is a wonderful resource for navigating difficult ethical situations. I turn to it whenever I deal with an intellectual or ethical struggle. It uses a number of rhetorical strategies and examples that help one crystallize their thinking. Perhaps the most important element of the book is that it highlights the value of telling the whole truth.

Wow! Amazing and practical book from a Stanford professor and world expert on decision analysis! I have come realize the profound value of teaching ethical thinking using everyday decisions. What better way to learn how we think, how we rationalize, and how we unintentionally make decisions that violate our own ethical code. I purchased copies for my three children (ages 14 to 19). I wish I had read this years ago. However, it is never to late to learn and improve.

I have read many ethics books and this one doesn’t really pass muster as a favorite because it does not offer anything new or very useful. Read through the ethical theories, stop for a moment in the appendices to look at ethical code writing, and read chapters 6 and 7. You will save yourself some time and get the real value from the book.

Engaging read.. great examples of ethical implications.

I had to buy this for school. Terrible. Ron Howard should stick to influence diagrams.

I got this for school so I don't really have an opinion. It did what I needed it to do

Got this book for my college class but actually read all of it!

Used for a class, as described.

Will ask you questions that help you examine what your moral framework is made up of and based on.

Everyone should read it for general guidance on the basic principles of ethics and morality. Good value.

Charged me 1500 rs . Now the price is below 1000. Feels like i am cheated. Very cheap quality. Doesn't look like a normal hardcover book

Thinking and re-thinking...a healthy combination. I'm positive this can be and informative read for many, even if one is more advanced in such knowledge.
