amyb24's review against another edition
3.0
This book offered some well-supported food for thought as to what it means to be a moral person. However, the authors set up a strawman to organize the book around that was hard for me to overlook. They created a false dichotomy of a "new school" of behavior science thinking in comparison to a more reflective, deliberate approach to building behaviors. This misrepresents the work they term "new school" and was distracting--at times angering--for a reader such as myself whose work focuses in those areas. I don't know if the authors truly don't understand the work around habit and decision-making, or if they deliberately chose to oversimplify it in order to fill more pages, but in either case it was a distraction from their thesis.
