Info

I got this book as an Advance Reader copy from NetGalley.

It’s a quick, compelling read that uses a powerful story to explore a critical question: what are your core values, and how do you live them?

Instead of just presenting exercises, Glazer wraps them in a relatable story that helps the concepts hit home.

The (5+1) questions that help us figure out our values:

• [?] In what nonwork environments are you highly engaged, and why?
• [?] In what professional roles or jobs have you done your best work, and why?
• [?] What help, advice, or qualities do others come to you for?
• [?] When have you been disengaged in a personal or professional setting, and why?
• [?] What qualities in other people do you struggle with most?
• [?] What would you want to be said about you in your eulogy?

And once we have figured out the core values, these followup questions help solidify the statement:

• Figure out the right theme
  • [?] Can you use your core value to make a decision?
  • [?] Does the opposite of your core values cause discomfort?
• Figure out the right wording
  • [?] Is the core value a phrase rather than a single word?
  • [?] Can you objectively rate yourself on it?
