This book provides a moral compass for anyone who seeks to follow its principles in order to think and act as a humanist. The author develops the idea that rational humanism provides an objective moral code, and offers reasons for behaving morally, within the global context of a shrinking world. Since our worldview affects how we interact with others, any moral code must be judged as to how its adherents treat other people and whether or not it improves people’s lives.
