In this refreshingly original book, Joshua Halberstam shows us how to develop a moral imagination—and have fun while doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalberstam demolishes the clichés of both religion and psychotherapy and entices us into looking at the small actions that make up the big picture of our character and values. Should we really refrain from making judgments? Should we let our conscience be our guide even if it urges us not to pay our taxes? Halberstam has something intriguing to say about these and many other issues.
