Synopsis
After nearly forty years of weighing humanity's deepest dilemmas - working in settings ranging from university and school classrooms to corporate offices and hospitals - best selling author, philosopher and religious scholar, Jacob Needleman, presents the most urgent, deeply felt and widely accessible work of his career. In WHY CAN'T WE BE GOOD?, Needleman identifies the core problem that therapists and social philosophers fail to see. He depicts the individual human as a being who knows what is good, yet who remains mysteriously helpless to adopt inwardly the ethical, moral and religious ideas that are bequeathed to him.
