Desjardins talks about previous related ethical issues that have occurred for huge corporations to help individuals understand the importance of moral actions in their everyday lives. The author challenges us to question how well we know our own faith and values in life. This book is very insightful and interesting to read. I recommend this to anyone that wants clarity or maybe even to have a reference guide on ethics in the work place, this is the book to purchase.

This was an "ok" ethics book, but the author is very wordy with making a point. It takes him a page to make a small point. There does not appear to be any uniformity between chapter lengths. Sometimes they are really really long, then sometimes they are normal. It does have some good material in it and the case studies are interesting. Overall it is a good book, but not perfect.

I needed this item for a college ethics class. I ended up purchasing it from the college because the book was shipped to the wrong state no where close to where I live

The book is only accessible using my laptop so I can't see it on my iPhone and adjusting the view is unfriendly as well.

Boring
This book is boring and horribly written. It does not read like a small text book but as a compilation of hundreds of little newspaper articles. This makes it really hard read. Read more

Boring!
This book is a huge bore. Interesting topic but it's been pummelled to death by the author who some accuse of having been paid by the word - yes it's just that wordy! Read more
