What do we define as a high integrity person? My defitition: alignment with ones own values and ones own highest truth, willingness to speak ones truth even if it goes against ones survival interests. 

Example: Michael Jackson

Immanuel Kant, as evident in 'Critique of pure reason'

 

Nothing speaks of integrity more than renunciation or abandonment of the desire to know things in their independence from yourself.

Edit:, so far as reading the book goes, it may not be necessary for understanding its contents, he is famous precisely because there are many who studied him and for that reason there are ways to go about it indirectly trough those.

Most of its contents do not require much understanding, because he speaks to that in you which makes understanding possible.

@Preety_India Tupac was a thug and was a homosexual who had modelling pictures of him with bubbles on his oiled body in a bathtub. 

 

He declared himself a gang banger and was doing this. 

My toenail has more integrity.

One of the whistleblowers in the various corruption scandals in Siemens. The way he retells the meeting where corporate tried to intimidate him and the CEO opened the meeting by screaming "We have a mole high up in the system! He will be found and he will be fired!" and then looks directly at him, is something right out of The Wolf of Wall Street (22:00).

 

Quote

In 2003, Per Yngve Monsen, chief-controller at Siemens Business Services in Norway, noticed some irregularities in the invoices Siemens sent to the Norwegian Department of Defense as part of a large contract for a communications system.

Monsen detected an extra $6 million on the bills for the contract that didn't correspond to any of the services provided. He alerted his superiors in Norway but was told not to worry. Frustrated by their lack of interest in what appeared to be fraud, Monsen sent the documents anonymously to Siemens' headquarters in Germany.

Rather than correct the error, the company allegedly intimidated Monsen and eventually dismissed him. But Monsen's disclosures ultimately led Norwegian prosecutors to investigate Siemens and their Norwegian Defense Department contacts. In 2005, Siemens was prosecuted in Norway and ordered to pay Monsen approximately $240,000 for wrongful termination, in addition to a $1.6 million fine to the government and $19.5 million back to the Norwegian Army.

For Siemens, the Monsen case was only one in a series of allegations of bribery and corrupt practices around the world. By December 2008, Siemens agreed to pay a record total of $1.6 billion in fines in the U.S. and Germany after law enforcement agencies in both countries uncovered a network of illegal payments to officials in Italy, Venezuela, Bangladesh and Nigeria, among others.

Completely unrelated: I learned about this guy because he is one of the brothers of Lars Monsen, the famous adventurer guy (at least in Norway), who now has a YouTube channel.
