Reviews / Votes
"Wow! I couldn't put it down! The book is brilliant, inspiring, filled with humor that informs and amazing personal stories. If I were still Dean of the USC Law School, I would assign it to every law student. This book has given me some GREAT material for my monthly firesides that will be duly attributed and acknowledged."- The Honorable Dorothy Nelson, Past Dean, University of Southern California Law School, Retired Chair of the United States Baha'i National Spiritual Assembly
"The Noble Edge is fast paced, easy to read and covers a lot of ground. I have not seen a distinction between morals and ethics as well delineated as in this work. It's a great primer for corporate and individual social responsibility."
- Mike Philips, Board Chairperson, Alaira Capital Partners, London, Past Chairman and CEO Russel Investments
"Dr. Gilbert has written an engaging and insightful book that is both grounded in theory and immensely practical. It culminates in nine steps that support each of us in reaching the ethical high ground, and along the way we are treated to stories and examples that bring the material to life. Rarely does a book bring together so many important ideas and empower us to make better moral choices. Gilbert's work is an enjoyable, meaningful, accessible book for everyone."
- Dr. Jill Purdy, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of Washington
"In this very readable and practical approach to ethics, Chris Gilbert brings his years of experience, his substantial knowledge and research and his quick wit. Chris has made the topic approachable and straight forward."
- Joe Lawless, Executive Director, University of Washington, Milgard Center for Leadership and Social Responsibility
"In this engaging work, speaker and ethics consultant Gilbert (There's No Right Way to Do the Wrong Thing) takes readers on a digestible journey through morality, law, and ethics."
-Publishers Weekly
"The Noble Edge is a remarkably inspirational self-help book that will provide readers with the tools they need to make better choices in their lives. I recommend the chapters on the wisdom of ethics, truth of ethics, subjectivism, relativism and transformation. Christopher Gilbert, PhD, writes as if he is having a one-on-one conversation with his readers."
