As our lives become more complicated, we face a growing number of moral choices.  Happiness and peace of mind depend upon knowing we have made the right choices – but how can we decide what’s right and wrong, especially when there is no one to guide us? 

How can we know, for example, if it is right to leave a relationship?  Or if it is ever right to tell lies?  Are the moral rules different at work, depending on what the boss expects of us?  If something is ‘legal’, does that make it right?  Even when there are no clear-cut, absolute answers, it is our responsibility to discover the best answer for us, in each situation. 

Renowned psychologist and social researcher Hugh Mackay shows how you can achieve your own moral clarity,
