About the Book (taken from Amazon.com)The focus of The Good Person Guidebook is to help you discover the answers to two key questions: "What type of person should you be?" and "What should you do given a decision of ethical importance?" Richard Bayer provides important advice on a multitude of topics including what makes a person happy, how to overcome suffering, love in your personal life, raising children well, a meaningful work life, and respecting human dignity.
This book is divided into three main sections:
--A Perspective on Ethics
--Virtue: What type of person should I be
--Guidelines: what must we do

My Review
I found this book very easy to read and follow. Bayer's points are clearly laid out and simple to grasp. I thoroughly enjoyed his use of quotes. Bayer includes study guide questions at the end of each section which is helpful. This is a largely secular book based on religious principals and geared toward the business world. I think many of the principals Bayer outlines can relate to the non-business world as well.
