By Howard Gardner, M. Csikszenthmihalyi and William Damon
Howard Gardner is the Harvard Professor who pioneered the concept of multiple intelligences. Mihaly Csikszenthmihalyi brought us “Flow,” and William Damon of Stanford authored “The Moral Child.” Together they bring us a thoughtful work on the meaning of “good work,” work that is of high quality and also socially responsible in rapidly changing times. They explore three professions in depth: journalism, genetics and law, to explore the dilemmas of adhering to high professional standards amidst market and environmental factors that are countervailing forces.
