Rockland, Maine (September 10, 2009)—How Good People Make Tough Choices, Resolving the Dilemmas of Ethical Living (Tough Choices)—Rushworth Kidder's landmark book on ethics—has risen to #8 this week on the Washington Post's best seller list. Kidder, who founded the Institute for Global Ethics in 1990, is one of the nation's best known ethicists. Tough Choices was first published in 1995 by Simon and Schuster and is currently published by HarperCollins. The book—now in paberback—features Kidder's core teaching on ethical decision-making, along with lively accounts of real people dealing with, and resolving, ethical dilemmas. It is the thinking in this book that has developed into the many training programs now being offered by the Institute, including its popular Ethical Fitness® seminar.
Graham Phaup, the Institute's executive director, says, "We are delighted at this news. Rush's book continues to help thousands of people each year in their search of ethical reasoning and strength. The book's message is enduring, and is needed today more than ever."
Kidder's lastest book, The Ethics Recession, tackles head-on the collapse in values that lies at the heart of the recent financial meltdown. A new edition of Tough Choices—published again by HarperCollins—is due out in November and will feature updated references, as well as an updated preface and epilogue. Rush Kidder is president and founder of the Institute for Global Ethics. Details about the Institute are available at wwww.globalethics.org.
