With his background in religion and philosophy, Dr. Burleson calls on everyone from Jung and Kant to Captain Kirk and Coach Lombardi to teach readers about ethical choice. College and high school classes, business leaders and organizational developers, community discussion groups, and social and political action networks will find rich and user-friendly ways to study the complexity of "seeking the good" and "doing what's right."
