Start With Values by Bradley Hook presents values as an internal compass guiding decisions and leading to a more purposeful life, contrasting with the fleeting satisfaction of “junk values.” The author shares his personal journey to illustrate the evolution of values and introduces the Values Pyramid as a framework for understanding core human needs and motivations, from survival to fulfillment. The book explores how to discover, live, and communicate values, discussing their presence in collective contexts like relationships, families, and workplaces, and highlighting the importance of well-being, rituals, and environments in aligning with values.
