From the Publisher
Do no harm. Make things better. Respect others. Be fair. Be loving.

Keeping these core values in mind throughout daily life is not only surprisingly easy to do; it makes for an intensely more satisfying life in every way. People who live by these standards enjoy lives of abundance, integrity, and satisfying professional and personal relationships—and Life Principles shows why.

In this inspiring, practical, and highly readable tribute to doing the right thing, nationally recognized ethics expert Dr. Bruce Weinstein explores how every religion expresses the five principles of ethics, and how to apply them to our own lives. Q&A sections present ethical conflicts in real-life situations and offer solutions to common problems. Life Principles also provides guidance for times when values conflict and seem to pull us in opposite directions. Find out your "ethics IQ" by taking the simple test on page 31—and then increase your score by making the five simple Life Principles part of your life.

Deborah L. Albritton, MPA-- Healthy Carolinians

Open this book. Rediscover the basic principles of a beautiful life--and a total, happier, healthier you. You will feel refreshed, not only every time you read this book, but ultimately when you live by these core values.

Small things do matter
I was fortunate to listen to Bruce Weinstein's speak on Ethics. He has compiled many of his thoughts into this wonderful book.

After reading the principles, you will realize how we take things for granted and act in an unethical way in so many things we do. This book is a good refresher and pulls us back on track in our daily life.

Strongly reccomend this book to everyone and also implement the suggestions after evaulating it to your own situation.

I Do Feel Better
What a wonderful world it would be if everyone read this book and tried to live it in their daily lives. The concepts in this book are not new, but when you think about them and strive to live them , you really do feel better. I will be reading it again when the rest of my family has finished it.
