Description
Summary:We live in an era of remarkable and wonderful technological advances. We also live in an era of tremendous economic, environmental and social upheaval. Given these circumstances, today's leaders must make decisions of overwhelming importance in a world that is changing rapidly.In these confusing times, what values can our leaders look to as they try to address the many challenges that we face? Which values, if followed, are most likely to bring us the security and the happiness that we desire?Those who came before us had to survive difficult times of their own, and their experiences shaped the ways in which they looked at the world. Each generation taught the next generation those perspectives and those strategies that had helped them be successful; and over the centuries and even millennia, this ancient wisdom became condensed into fundamental values. We may take it for granted, since our values are such an intrinsic part of our lifestyles, but one of the greatest gifts that our ancestors gave to us are these values—the collective wisdom of the ages.
