The Power of Ideals & Moral Choice

Cynicism often seems a smarter choice than idealism.

Politicians have disappointed us, trusted institutions have proven to be self-serving, hopes for lasting world peace have been repeatedly dashed, and social inequities persist and increase. Stanford University’s William Damon presents a different vision by examining the lives and work of moral leaders who have pursued moral causes from world peace to social justice and human rights. He talks with legal reformer Philip K. Howard, whose recent book, The Rule of Nobody, was praised by Fareed Zakaria as “an utterly compelling and persuasive book that, if followed, could change the way America works.” Join them to explore the power of inner truthfulness, humility and faith in pursuing ideals that we believe in.

There will be a book signing, with books available for purchase, following this event.
