Selfish, Jealous, Shortsighted, Stubborn, and Ungrateful

Doing the right thing can be very different in theory and practice. We are wired to be selfish, jealous, shortsighted, stubborn, and ungrateful – not exactly our best selves. Organizational design, in business, politics, and every human endeavor, must consider the raw material and respond accordingly. Gaeron leverages his three decades of experience in audit, due diligence, and risk management to provide perspectives.

Dr. Jason Brennan of Georgetown University writes, “Why do decent people so often act badly? How do organizations so often encourage bad behavior? Why do we fall short of our moral principles in predictable ways? And what can we do about it? This book provides an engaging and concise crash course on human nature, weaving together insights from psychology, philosophy, history, management, economics and the author’s own business experience. A must read for anyone who is human or works with humans!”
