Exploring the tension between self-interest and ethical living, the author delves into philosophical beliefs from figures like Jesus, Kant, and Rousseau, alongside cultural insights from America, Japan, and Aboriginal societies. The narrative argues that the pursuit of self-interest ultimately undermines both individual and collective fulfillment. By examining our inherent tendencies toward selfishness, the book suggests pathways to a more meaningful life through ethical choices, challenging readers to reconsider their values and behaviors for greater satisfaction.
