The Golden Path: On Being a Mensch by Dr. Moshe Kaplan, MD, Physician, investment banker, and author of A Wholly Life
Reviews: To Be a Mensch addresses a central problem of our times: what is good character, and why should we care about it? We can all see the decline in honest, concern for others, idealism, responsibility for the community and the drive to have a life that makes the world a better place. Historically, religion has been the source of these values. Dr. Moshe Kaplan is continuing this tradition in the present volume by gathering together an all-star group of people with advanced secular education and profound religious commitment.
Their articles explore good character from many perspectives: psychological, economic, philosophical, physical and more. This will provide food for thought and inspiration for those seeking a more meaningful approach to life. I wish Dr. Kaplan and his authors every success in inspiring people to raise their sights and lead more idealistic and meaningful lives. Bostoner Rebbe Good character is necessary in itself. It is an end and not a means. But this book shows why it is also essential as a means. Akiva Tatz, M.D. Author, and Director of the Jerusalem Medical Ethics Forum
