Why We Act: Turning Bystanders into Moral Rebels

by Catherine A. Sanderson

Catherine A. Sanderson examines the psychological forces that keep people silent in the face of wrongdoing and offers evidence-based strategies for cultivating moral courage. Drawing on research in social psychology, she explores how ordinary individuals can overcome conformity pressures to speak up and take action. The book provides practical tools for becoming an upstander rather than a bystander in everyday ethical dilemmas.
