Topic: Strengthening Your Value Hierarchy with Self-Direction
Self-Direction Theory and Practice #7 will include:
- What is a value hierarchy?
- The role of a strong value hierarchy in happiness.
- How values can form by an implicit process.
- How out-of-context absolutes distort your values.
- Temptation and resistance as opportunities to strengthen your value hierarchy.
- Why this strengthening is inherent in all self-direction.
Please bring an example to class of the last time you needed to intervene to take a rational action, e.g.
- to regroup when you found yourself off-task
- to motivate action
- to deal with old baggage
