Drawing on his life's experience -- in the American South during the civil rights movement, as a college and medical student, at Harvard, as psychiatrist -- Dr. Coles writes about moral leaders who influence him, to show how each of us can play a part in developing the moral fiber of our world. We are inspired by heroes, and also by the occasional call to BE a hero. Dr. Coles exhibits a stunning array of individuals whose moral leadership have impressed him over the course of years: some well-known, such as Dorothy Day and Robert Kennedy; some less well-knows, but well-respected, including teachers Warner Yaeger and Perry Miller; and others including a Boston Bus driver involved in the process of American desegregation; and Ruby Bridges, a young black girl who was among the first to integrate an all-white school in the 1960s, whose moral heroism inspired many. Moreover, Coles demonstrates how literature can prove a catalyst to moral action: Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Emerson, and Conrad.
The purpose of this book is two-fold -- both to provide moral examples of leaders as they figured in Coles' and in our everyday lives, and also to provoke and inspire moral leadership amongus.
Groundbreaking, thought-provoking, this is another must-read for those interested in the ways our moral selves are shape and transformed throughout our lives.
