How should you live your life? Our actions and choices dramatically affect our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world around us. Few things promote good mental health better than a clear conscience and the peace of mind that come from knowing you’ve done the right thing. But, in our ever more complicated world, what are the right choices? How can we make decisions that are at the same time good for us, good for our community―and just plain good?

This book, written by an esteemed psychologist and ethicist, helps you answer these questions and develop a sound system for making the right choices in each situation. First, the book offers a clear, easy-to-understand survey of the major traditions in ethics and their approaches to problem solving. Then it explains an innovative, five-step process you can use to make sound, ethical choices. The RRICC system works by helping you examine situations according to five ethical principles: responsibility, respect, integrity, competence, and concern. By following the lucid, step-by-step exercises that introduce the system, you will learn and practice invaluable decision-making skills―simple, reliable techniques you can use at any time, in any place to make sure you always do the right thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book !!

This is a very interesting book, different from other books I have read. The author, Dr. Plante is a Psychologist. I am a Psychotherapist. I picked this book because I like self help books. I love reading about Psychology and religion.
Dr. Plante's book, "Do The Right Thing" was not "religious" but is a wonderful combination of Psychology and Ethics which
touches on "integrity"being a responsible person in life, and having "respect." I found this book unique and inspiring. I really, really like this book.

This book is really helpful in providing an overview of the appropriate approaches in thinking through an ethical dilemma. Do the Right Thing is one of the most straightforward approaches to this process that I have come across; I find it very helpful in completing my required course assignments for my ethics course. I definitely recommend this if you are in need of the proper tools to solving problems.

Great book about ethical values. It has all the information to inform those with little Emotional Intelligence about it, how to be aware of their environment, and what is ethical or not.
