The phenomenal success of William Bennett's The Book of Virtues an The Death of Outrage proved the public's yearning for a return to moral learning. Here, respected ethicist Dr. Russell W. Gough reminds us that the key to our existence doesn't lie in our parentage, our upbringing, or our membership in any group, class, or race. It lies in the day-to-day decisions that shape our character. If we train ourselves to choose the conscientious course in our daily lives, we will inevitably follow the right path. And if enough people make that choice, our entire culture will benefit.
