  1. Life Values: Identify and prioritize your core values to guide decision-making and lead a more purposeful life.

— from True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)

In the book

And be patient with truth: ideas and truths are not born finished; they get formed and molded and tested over a long time until they become something you can actually stand on. Values are the heading you choose to fly. Identify and prioritize your core values, because they are what guide every real decision. Values are absorbed — from parents, friends, society, the press — and the obligation to teach them rests first on parents; when my children were young I was careful about the friends I let them keep, because I would never let any outside institution or person decide what my children's or grandchildren's values would be. […] Argue to learn, not to win. The crowd's agreement doesn't make you right — your facts and reasoning do. Choose your values on purpose, and teach them. Don't outsource them to the crowd or the culture. Own what you fail to do. Responsibility covers the unfilled hole, not just the harm you cause. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
