Summary: Brilliant and enlighted book not just on ethics, but life
Review: I have read hundreds of books. When people ask me which one is my favorite, I always say Amador by Fernando Savater. I do not have children, but when my nieces and nephews turn 14, I will surely give them each a copy. The most important tidbit of wisdom is clearly and compellingly explained in this concise book. Very few writers can make you a better person just by reading their book. If you can only read one more book in your life, this should be it.

Summary: Very readable, clear-thinking, philosophical.
Review: I'm on page 70 now, not quite halfway through this quick-reading little gem.If a book doesn't grab me in the first three pages, I don't read it. I broke off reading Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon at page 680 to read this wonderful little book, which I bought and it is beautifully printed and bound. What a find! This man gently addresses his son as I would mine, but so much more clearly. He explains concepts like freedom and self-discipline, bringing in superbly appropriate quotations of the great thinkers, ancient and modern. This reminds me of the better philosophy courses I had in college. It was written so recently that he also refers to things we have in daily life such as computer games. This book is as accessible and lucid an introduction to ethics as I could hope to find. I am going to buy two more copies: one for each of my children. Why on earth did they take it out of print so soon?

Summary: en mi conciencia esta la libertad
Review: Literatura especial para ser leida por adolescentes,ya que el autor se expresa de una forma muy amena y con un buen sentido del humor.Sobre el tema creo que hace una buena descripcion de los conceptos que van encadenados a lograr una buena manera de vivir, con alegria y con inteligencia y sobretodo con LIBERTAD.
NO existe un codigo de etica, el cual debemos acatar, sino que la Etica, la hacemos nosotros mismos,con nuestras decisiones , con nuestras actitudes,con nuestros conocimientos y sobre todo con nuestra conciencia.
