Timeless Wisdom
Review written by: Jennifer Prisk From San Diego, CA USA
On the days when I find myself reflecting on what is happening locally and globally,I pick up Building a Life of Value. This book is a thoughtfully planned treasure that allows me to connect my thoughts with those of the great thinkers and to appreciate timeless wisdom.

There is comfort and a sense of connection between the covers. Humankind has been struggling with integrity and justice and tolerance for thousands of years. Inside this book are 14 chapters filled with words that uplift, inspire and make me smile.

I keep Building a Life of Value beside my computer, so that I can open its pages frequetnly, and reflect on life and my connection to the past. I urge you to buy a copy and do the same!

A Great Collection of Wisdom
Review written by: N. Whipple From
Reading this book reminds you that your values are always a work in progress, that there is always room for development. I really like the way it is organized, with the author's thoughtful reflections at the beginning and end of each chapter and the values put into complimentary sets. It's hard not to find inspiration here, as there are many wonderful quotations as well as many good questions. The best thing about this book for me is that you can pick it up at any time and find something meaningful in it depending on your mood or need at the time. It has challenged me to think about what values are at the core of my belief system, which foster other values and what I need to work on.

Inspiration On Demand
Review written by: quantumthinker From Southern CA, USA
I've never been a big fan of quotations until I listened to a dear friend say the words to the one that changed her life, and I adopted it as my own too. Now, whenever I need a dose of inspiration or wisdom, I simply pick up the book and start thumbing through the chapters until one catches my interest and captures what I'm feeling or needing to hear at that moment in time.

I'm hooked!

Redefining Values
Review written by: J. R. Clemento From USA
This book gave me the opportunity to really take a new look at my values, and values in general. The author's essays before and after each chapter and the wide range of quotations selected made me think in new directions about what I value and why --- and on so many topics!

I like that fact that Merchey categorized the quotations into 14 different
"value sets". I'm also impressed with the index. It's arranged by author and topics. This is usually not the case with books of quotations, but then, this is not your average book of quotations. It's a distillation of centuries of great wisdom and philosophical thinking. It's really a
one-stop shop for wisdom.

Building a Life of Value is a keeper. It's a great source for inspiration and would be a wonderful reference book for anyone's personal or educational library. A must have!

Highly recommended, very rewarding.
Review written by: Arthur From Sierra Madre, CA
Building A Life Of Value was definately a great addition to my collection of life inspiring works. In recent times, I had been faced with some difficult challanges to my belief system. In taking a few personal improvement days, I reviewed Merchey's guide to values, and Steven Covey's work on maintaining Focus, and slowly but effectively developed a clear understanding of the values that where guiding me. I am back on track now and owe much to this body of inspiration. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking at their life's journey and taking ownership of it's direction.
