Description: "A focus on values - not beliefs. Values are emphasized as new sources of meaning, purpose, and identity. Our values complement our beliefs (whether they be religious, spiritual, or humanist.). Contemporary sources of wisdom. We seek values that are more relevant and useful to us in the conduct of our everyday lives. The sixty-four values we discuss are primarily adapted from current spiritual, psychological, and secular sources. The Power of personal choice. Assuming more responsibility for our spiritual happiness begins by clarifying our own ideals and values. Because your chosen personal values are important (valuable) to you, they provide fresh sources of inspiration. An emphasis on transformation--not transcendence. A commitment to grow and live in closer alignment with our chosen spiritual ideals (like wisdom, peace, love, and compassion) helps us to become more of the person we wish to be. More life for all--in this world. Our primaryu task is to sacralize all life, here and now. A broader view. Towards a more spiritual life - with Spirit or without."--Back cover.
