ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that the same moral goals can be pursued in different ways, and that small differences in how this is done can have large effects. Experimental studies point to possibilities for interventions that are most likely to be effective. Such interventions can be used to get people to acknowledge they have problems without blaming them for their occurrence. Explicitly considering the future helps people prepare for the moral dilemmas they may encounter. People generally think that the best way to get people to change is to convince them with relevant arguments or information, explaining all the things that are currently wrong. Simply rejecting, condemning, and sanctioning what we see as morally wrong – as we so often do – will only make those who are criticized in this way feel misunderstood, rejected, and excluded.
