5 things you didn’t know about being a better person:

• Reading fiction, thinking about your childhood and seeing others do nice things can make you act more ethically. On the other hand, feeling moral can lead you to act immorally and being ethical can hurt your income.

• Lack of sleep can make you unethical and when faced with moral dilemmas we usually do what is easy, not necessarily what’s right.

• Ethical people are happier and happier people are better citizens.

• Showering can make you less moralistic and washing your hands does make you feel less guilty.

• Ethics books get stolen more frequently than other books.
