Author reveals five principles for a better life
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Bruce Weinstein, author of "Life Principles: Feeling Good by Doing Good," knows the choices we make day-to-day determine our quality of life, and Standard Net reports that he has five principles to consider before making our choices: Do no harm, make things better, respect others, be fair and be loving.
Bruce Weinstein has discovered the secret to a rich, happy, satisfying life.
"If you are making the right ethical choices, you feel good about yourself and you are a positive force in the world," said Weinstein, a 44-year-old New York City resident who began writing a syndicated ethics column last September.
Weinstein, a former philosophy professor, freely admits that the ideas in his book are not new.
But judging from the response to his books and columns, and to his appearances as an ethics specialist on media news shows, the nation seems ready to listen to a plan for better, more positive behavior.
# You witness a classmate cheating on a test.
# The neighbors' rowdy kids are disturbing your peace.
Weinstein has distilled the answer into five life principles, which can be applied to any situation.
In the case of the cheating spouse, feel free to request an explanation from the cheater, but do no harm to your innocent friend with blunt, premature declarations.
When you can't avoid the kids, be loving, for their sake and for your own.
We can steal when no one is looking, cheat whenever we are able, lie when it is convenient or break promises when something better comes along.
He formed Ethics and Work Incorporated and began speaking and consulting to businesses and nonprofit organizations, and appearing as a guest lecturer at universities.
The use of quizzes and a question/answer format to illustrate points makes "Life Principles: Feeling Good by Doing Good" shorter and easier to read, Weinstein said.
"I used to sell one or two, and now I sell out and have to bring extra order forms.
After one appearance, a woman who had ordered a book and paid me came running back, waving a dollar bill.
