Good Vs Good
If most of us want to be good, how is it that many of us can seem so bad? Drawing on the disciplines of brain science, management, moral philosophy, public policy, and psychology—and filled with original research, surveys, and case studies, Good vs Good explains how we each prioritize the 8 Great Goods in completely disparate order.
