An ethics-minded framework for choosing a better life

The fourth volume in the Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind series approaches the question of living well through the book’s concept of “humps” of the mind. Gary W. Cross frames a good life as something shaped not only by an individual’s choices, but also by the effects those choices have on family, descendants, friends, and customers. Instead of prescribing one universal route, the book presents a way to identify personally relevant directions and consider the mental patterns involved in pursuing them. Its ethical inquiry is therefore practical in orientation: how self-knowledge can inform decisions about one’s own life and responsibilities to others.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in moral philosophy with a self-reflective focus
  • People exploring frameworks for defining personal values and life direction
  • Followers of the Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind series

Book overview

We all seek a good life for ourselves and the people that we affect, both now and in the future.
But what is a good life? What is the way to a good or better life?
In this book we use our knowledge of the mind, in particular our knowledge about humps, to help us to better understand what a good life is, and how to better achieve a good life (or at least have a better life).
Importantly, this book won't (and can't) tell you what your specific directions to a good life are. However, this book does offer help for you to determine your own specific directions (which depends on your specific humps and the specific humps of the people that you affect, such as your family, your descendants, friends and customers. If we don't know and follow our own directions, then we are following others' directions, or wander randomly.
This book is the fourth book in the series Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind.
