Follow Liautaud’s instructions and you will be a better decision-maker - and person.’ – Ruth Chang, chair and professor of jurisprudence, University of Oxford‘Actionable and ready to use by all, The Power of Ethics makes ethical dilemmas clear instead of leaving you to agonize over impossible choices.
