How Do You Build a Life of Value?

Civilizations rise and fall, but wisdom endures through the ages. “Building a Life of Value” is wisdom at its best--pertinent, gutsy, original wisdom that relates to our everyday lives, our everyday issues.

Within it’s pages, you’ll discover   a fusion of great thinking--from classical to contemporary, from philosophical to poetic. Building a Life of Value is a collection of timeless quotations, a concert of voices harmoniously blended into a symphony of wisdom, orchestrated by Jason Merchey and his thought-provoking essays. It will stimulate your thinking, energize your spirit, and deepen your understanding of human nature.

Whether you're a parent, educator, business executive, adventurer, artist, spiritual seeker, student, or simply a human being trying to get your bearings, this book is a marvelous tool for tuning in to your heart and owning your own values. Consider it your shaman, your oracle, your foundation, your blueprint for truly building a life of value.

Jason Merchey has a master's degree in psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy.

A progressive philosophical thinker, thought leader, and poet, he began   researching the subject of wisdom as it relates to personal values in his teenage years and has been on a mission ever since.

Building a Life of Value is the culmination of his years of study and research to find thinking that is related to personal values, is rooted in meaning, and is useful in considering the  ethical questions of today. 

"Jason Merchey has made available a valuable compilation; it is a rich selection of quotations relating to an array of virtues. His is a book I will turn to in my work on character and ethics education, and in searching for wisdom in my daily life."
