Start With Values

How to Build a Life with Meaning and Purpose

Bradley Hook · Hatherleigh Press · distributed by Penguin Random House

Our values quietly shape every decision we make — yet most of us have never named them. Start With Values is a practical guide to discovering what matters most to you, and building a life and work that reflect it.

About the book

Name what matters. Then build around it.

Drawing on years as an executive coach and researcher — and his work at the Resilience Institute and the Values Institute — Brad Hook unpacks the extraordinary impact that values have on our lives, our relationships and our organisations.

Part guide, part workbook, it's full of tools, lists and thought-experiments designed to help you find your core values, live them when it's hard, and share them with the people and teams around you.
