Should you make provocative comments on social media?
Should you act in your own self-interest and ignore others?
How can you develop meaningful relationships in life, the workplace and on social media?
These are questions of ethical behavior. In Beyond Happiness and Meaning, Dr. Steven Mintz will show you how to make decisions that make life worth living. It goes beyond enhancing our own well-being to improving the lives of others. You can be happier, achieve greater meaning in life, and help bring back civility to society by learning the art of ethical behavior.
“Steven Mintz’s Beyond Happiness and Meaning reads as an engaging and deeply informed conversation with someone who has spent a lifetime thinking and teaching about how values and happiness intertwine in our lives. Drawing upon both the traditions of ethical reasoning and insights from recent social psychology, Mintz’s book is chock-full of contemporary examples of ethical challenges in business, in the social media realm, in the sphere of public security and perhaps most immediately relevant, in his readers’ everyday dealings with family, friends, partners, passersby, and community. His discussions offer useful lenses for thinking through these questions, not from a position of preaching, but rather – refreshingly – by linking these choices to our universal quest for happiness and purpose in our lives.”
