Although it is common knowledge that a person's physical health improves with regular exercise, many often do not think that moral health also requires commitment and attention. An accomplished authority on moral and mental health offers a timely exploration of the ways the conscience can develop and provides a set of exercises to facilitate this important growth.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Humans, famous for their pleasure-seeking ways, are also quite "capable of organizing their lives, actions, and goals around noble ideas." In fact, no other animals are capable of evaluating their own behavior. So argues clinical psychologist Shelton (Morality of the Heart, 1997) in this thought-provoking examination of the workings of the conscience. He has identified seven dimensions of human nature that can be nurtured to achieve moral fitnessDpsychic energy, defenses, empathy, guilt, idealization, self-esteem, and moral beliefsDand offers practical steps for making more ethical choices. A blend of real-life situations and cartoons that involve moral dilemmas are used to illustrate his ideas. Well written and well referenced, this unique work would be of interest to people who wish to learn more about themselves and the decisions they make at home or at work.DElizabeth Goeters, Georgia Perimeter Coll., Dunwoody Campus

Simple but insightful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Achieving Moral Health: An Exercise Plan for Your Conscience (Paperback)
This is not a self help book, but rather a unique take on morality. It deals with morality as part of our health and well being. It is not at all preachy, but very sensible as well as spiritual.
