Actually, I don't do good out of fear of reprisal. For example:
I give food to the food bank because there are hungry people who need food. I'm not worried that someone will punish me if I don't.
I treat animals kindly because to treat them unkindly is harmful to them and I do not wish to harm them. While cruelty to animals is a crime in my state, I would not be cruel to animals even if it were perfectly legal.
I garden organically because I do not wish my family to eat toxic fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide residue found in much commercial produce. No one would punish me if I put weed-and-feed on my garden. I just think it's not a good thing to do, so I don't do it.
I give to other people out of my material goods if I have them to spare and they need them, because they need them and I have extra. No one would punish me if I refused to share. I do it because it's the right thing to do.

I'm greatly looking forward to the release of this book.
