The Noble Edge: Reclaiming an Ethical World One Choice at a Time, by best-selling author Christopher Gilbert, is the perfect self-help book for bringing ethics and nobility back to human thinking and behavior. Themes of trust, truth, and personal success are also explored, and this is a refreshing change from the my-needs-first approach to being in the world. In the polarized society we live in today, talking about these things may seem a little outdated, but these are the things we need to get back on track. We hear so many versions of what reality and truth are supposed to be, it can be a bit confusing. We look outward for answers and expect them to come from someone or somewhere else when we should be asking what it is we ourselves should be doing to improve things. The author explores the idea of success and what it means, and authentic relationships. Ethical choices aren't always easy, but this book stands as a guide for today's generation of hopefuls.
Gilbert takes readers on a philosophical and practical journey of ethics. What does it mean to be noble? Is it a thing of the past, or something that lies ensconced inside, ready to be mined and brought forth? Can we really become less selfish and more spiritual? The nature of this book is dynamic and easy to read, friendly, personal, and with a definite sense of humor. The anecdotes are encouraging, relatable, and energizing to illustrate the points being made. One example is Grace, who receives $20 more back from a cashier than what is actually owed her. What does she do? How does she process her decision? A strong takeaway from the lessons here is that we can transform ourselves and one another by adopting the habit of making good choices and that ethics can and should play a larger part in our lives and in those choices. Nine principles are discussed and can be used in a professional setting, familial relationships, and friendships/other relationships. No one would argue that businesses, agencies, communities, and families could all benefit from more ethics, but this book actually shows how that can be accomplished. For an accessible guide that will instantly enrich and impact your daily interactions and outlook on your life and the lives of others, the award-winning The Noble Edge: Reclaiming an Ethical World One Choice at a Time, by Christopher Gilbert, is a must-read.
