In this book , Simon et al offer over 70 different activities and written exercises designed to help people learn about values and explore their own values. Although it is ostensibly targeted to school-teachers, the strategies are useful for all ages. One very interesting aspect is that the book refrains from endorsing any particular values. Instead, the concept they have is that we need to treat students more as autonomous valuing beings that already have a fairly well defined system of values. A student's problem is not that he has no ideas about what is good/bad right/wrong. Rather he does know these things but is usually confused about his own beliefs. The activities are thought provoking and diverse.

This is a great, objective book that helped provide some of the best conversations I and my staff and groups have ever had. For those who aren't afraid to share their true selves and emotions and who are looking for some unique ways to open up groups--this is the book for you.

Great Book especially to use in a classroom setting to help students identify values. Thanks!

This is a classic how-to book on how to use cult mind control in the classroom to indoctrinate your children into views which are contrary to what you are teaching them at home. Written by the developers of the method, it focus on psychological techniques to be used at the hands of amateurs to lead your children subtly into the values chosen by the educational establishment. These techniques even now are being implemented in some classrooms. You are being compelled by law to place your children in government indoctrination centers where these techniques are being used to undermine your children's belief in God and in the unalienable rights which our founders recognized in the Declaration of Independence. Incidentally, such indoctrination also serves government minions well, as they teach our children to acquiesce as our freedoms are taken from us. Read it and weep! Read it to be informed. Do not expect to experience pleasure from the reading; instead, stay close to the bathroom. But if you want to know what the enemy is doing to your children, this is a must-read. You will come away with intimate knowledge of why the leading cause of death in our young people is suicide, why Columbine happened (these techniques were being used there) and why we got to the point where election fraud in Florida became thinkable.
