Personal Core Values: The E-Book

I’m happy to announce the official launch of my first e-book: Personal Core Values; a practical guide to discover YOUR personal core values. Personal Core Values - the e-book

Personal Core Values is all about discovering your values. If you’re a regular reader of How to be an Original, you know that I’ve gone through the process of discovering my personal core values years ago. And I use them on a regular basis to this day. I’ve written about my personal core values on this blog before, and I talked about how I used them when I wrote my personal mission statement.

Those articles are an account of how I found my values, and how I use them. But this is not about me, it’s about you. Because reading about how I discovered my values may be nice, what’s ultimately more important is how you can discover yours!

That’s why I wrote this e-book. It’s a guide for you, that will help you start discovering your personal core values, one by one. To accommodate this there are four (actually five) exercises. Every exercise has a brief introduction of what you can expect and how to prepare. Most exercises have worksheets to help you through the process (some of them contain gems!).

The 66 page e-book is divided in three parts:

  1. What are Personal Core Values
    This part explores what values are, and more specifically what Personal Core Values are. You will learn the various characteristics of values and what it takes to make it one of those special Personal Core Values.
  2. Discovering Your Personal Core Values
    This is where you’ll find the four exercises that will help you discover YOUR Personal Core Values. Choose the ones that appeal to you, you really don’t need to do all of them (but you’re more than welcome to!)
  3. Using Your Personal Core Values
    At the end of Part II you will know your Personal Core Values. Part III gives some examples of how you can use them in relationships, decision making and for crafting a personal mission statement.

My five personal core values and how I use them

Compass
On Tuesdays I write about Living my Legend. This section is inspired by The Alchemist and is an account of my journey of living my potential.

This is the first post in this section. I announced it over three weeks ago and it has developed in my mind since then. Maybe it was foresight, but tuning in to my legend and making the inner connection have been on my mind ever since. I have spent time to reconnect and things are becoming very clear. I expect that I have a lot of material for posts, but I will only post them when they are ‘ripe’.

Personal values

I have five personal values that I regard as my core values. They represent the things I want to experience in this life. The first time I actively discovered these personal values was 6 years ago, during an intense session with a guided meditation. At that time I recognized them, but did not know what to do with them and how they could be useful. Click to continue »
