3.0 out of 5 stars
Not strategies, no focus, March 23, 2006
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.
