In this book, Moral Courage, Rushworth Kidder
reveals that moral courage is the bridge between talking ethics and doing ethics.
Defining it as a readiness to endure danger for the sake of principle, he explains that the courage to act is found at the intersection of three elements: action based on core values, awareness of the risks, and a willingness to endure necessary hardship.
By exploring how moral courage spurs us to strive for core values, he demonstrates the benefits of ethical action to the individual and society — and the severe consequences of remaining morally dormant.
