Description
How to be Trustworthy explores what trustworthiness means in our lives and the dilemmas that arise when we value it in uncertain worlds. Katherine Hawley argues that there is no way of guaranteeing a clean conscience, and that taking on too many commitments can lead us to become untrustworthy.
The author shows that being sensitive to obstacles to trustworthiness is crucial, particularly for those living with challenging personal circumstances such as material poverty, poor health, social exclusion, or power imbalances. By understanding these challenges, we can work towards becoming more trustworthy individuals.
