Integrity: Doing the Right Thing for the Right Reason

In a world in which fraudulent acts and corporate scandals are common news, society has become increasingly concerned about the deterioration of moral and ethical values. Best-selling author and psychologist Barbara Killinger explores the loss of basic integrity in a culture that often challenges it. Dr Killinger describes personality traits and influences that help develop and maintain integrity and also considers how integrity is undermined and lost as a result of obsession, narcissism, and workaholism. Offering a positive "how to" perspective on safeguarding personal and professional integrity and encouraging the development of this vital character trait in our children, Killinger concludes that integrity is not possible without compassion and makes it clear that doing the right thing includes doing it for the right reason.
