Values in the Key of Life is about values, about conflicting values and about choices that the author has not merely written, but composed into a "pleasing arrangement of parts" suggesting that harmony can be promoted with seven values which will build bonds between individuals and create a sense of community. By exploring these values in anecdotes, quotations and essays, Dr. Koppelman reveals why these are the key values for creating human harmony. The quotations and anecdotes are thought provoking and memorable, and they have been selected from sources as diverse as the Bible, Voltaire, Chief Dan George, and Alice Walker. The essays tell real stories about real people to help explore issues related to each of the seven key values.
