Description
The Character Gap: How Good Are We? We tend to think of ourselves and others as decent people. However, recent studies in psychology suggest that we all have serious character flaws that prevent us from being as good as we think we are. Christian Miller argues that these flaws exist, but they don't necessarily make us cruel or dishonest. Our behavior is often influenced by our social environment, with some people acting selflessly and others failing to help those in need. Miller uses this research to explain what the notion of "character" really means today, and how we can develop a better character that aligns with the kind of people we want to be. By exploring the complexities of human behavior, Miller sheds new light on the nature of character and its significance in our personal lives.
