Synopsis

What is a good life, and how is it related to a happy one? What are virtues, and how do they affect the nature of friendships? Ethicists Gregory Beabout and Mike Hannis describe various approaches, ancient and modern, to those timeless questions: "What kind of person am I?" and "What should I do?"

Review

"This book, or at least some of its chapters, should be compulsory reading for management professors... Managers will also profit from reading the book." - Antonio Argandoña, author of MARKETS AND MORALITY (about THE CHARACTER OF THE MANAGER)

"This book is a much-needed application of virtue ethics to the managerial role. The book offers a valuable argument . . . and sketches a way forward with a positive, constructive proposal informed by the wealth of the virtue tradition." - Catholic Social Science Review (about THE CHARACTER OF THE MANAGER)

"[Beabout] goes through topics slowly and carefully, giving examples to highlight his main points and argument. The book, while engaging philosophers, is accessible to management and business professionals and students." - Philosophy of Management (about THE CHARACTER OF THE MANAGER)
