More About the Author

Sidney B. Simon is internationally known for his pioneering work in Values Clarification, now retired as Professor Emeritus from the University of Massachusetts. Over 100 articles and some 13 books authored or co-authored came out of that adventurous academic life.

Smon was a guest expert on the Oprah Show, and also shared his wisdom on a Phil Donahue program about Fathers and Sons.

More recently, he has been active in a Florida literary arts community. Simon is a drama critic for the SANIBEL CAPTIVA ISLANDER, and a participant for the past five years in ART POEMS.

His just published book, LIVING AND LOVING IN THAT CONDO WITH A VIEW OF THE GULF, is a rich tapestry of story poems about people growing older in a mythical condo in Florida.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: In Search of Values: 31 Strategies for Finding Out What Really Matters Most to You (Paperback)
In Search of Values (1993) by S.B. Simon offers 31 different and separate exercises (not strategies as the author calls them) to help you clarify your values. The related and partially overlapping book Values Clarification (first edition 1972) by S.B. Simon, L.W. Howe & H. Kirschenbaum offers 76 such exercises. Not all exercises will be equally appealing and useful to the reader. Unfortunately the authors do not help the reader tie the results of the separate exercises together in a straightforward and sensible manner. Better books on values are What Matters Most (2000) by Hyrum W. Smith, Lasting Change (1997) by Rob Lebow & William L. Simon, and Managing by Values (1997) by Ken Blanchard & Michael O'Connor. They offer more focused and coherent approaches to clarifying personal and group/organizational values.
