It's usually not that simple.

Most people do know right from wrong and can identify the more appropriate course of action when they view it objectively from a distance... and it's not their skin on the line.

The problem is that most all of us present different personas to different people. On the surface this isn't necessarily a problem: I act a little different in front of my clients compared to how I act in front of my wife & kids, which isn't quite the same as the way I act with my buddies. In my case, it isn't a problem because my values are consistent and I always act in accordance with them. For others, when they pursue an idea (whether it's the relentless pursuit of an unsatisfactory career until a significant part of them becomes an a-hole; or compulsive overeating as a means of distracting themselves from an issue they are avoiding; etc.) they tend to adopt situational values and what should be black & white / right & wrong becomes clouded by the tug of emotions that leads them towards their decision or away from the right decision.

I think I've seen about 5 minutes of Dr. Phil since he's been on the air. I'm neither an advocate or critic of his show (though I generally can't stand to watch that sort of tv programming). But if he has the ability to help people see through the clutter of their lives, doesn't let them rationalize bad choices and forces them to acknowledge a potentially better course of action, then more power to him.

Lastly...

At least you know what you want.

I don't have problems...

All three of them used to work out at the gym I went to. They would all go together. Never knew what they had going on until I saw the Dr. Phil episode they were on.
