I enjoyed this book. It reinforced my understanding of how I view the world, and gave some concrete information about the philosophical beliefs behind that world view. I have passed it along to a friend, and when I get it back, intend to share it with several other friends before I think about reposting it.

Fun way to look at ethical choices and how we make them. Quick, light and easy while provoking thought.

This is an interesting book if you are into the psychological reasons for things. If you are a psychology major, this is a perfect book for you. I found it to be a great conversation starter. Philosophers have been devising conundrums and thought experiments to stretch the mind for more than two millennia. They are motivated by the idea that the way we try to solve such things tells us something about ourselves and how we see the world. Reflecting carefully upon a particular moral dilemma provides an insight into our overall views on morality and can affect the way we see real-world controversies.
