“A thought-provoking guide to enlightened and progressive personal behavior.” - Jimmy Carter

“Rushworth Kidder is the best sort of public philosopher, one who can bring home the force of an abstract principle by means of a telling real-life example. The result is a valuable guide to more informed and self-conscious moral judgments.” - Bill Bradley

“A brilliant analysis that squarely faces all the issues and can be grasped by the thoughtful nonspecialist.” - Kirkus Reviews
