"More than a quarter of a million people have completed the Core Values Index. They received a description of their most innate unchanging nature. They acknowledge the CVI as the first instrument to give them a real understanding of who they really are. Now, in Choices, the creator of the revolutionary CVI teaches us what he has learned about the universal Human Operating System (HOS) that exists within each of us, how it works, and how to manage ourselves more consciously, more effectively. Choices teaches us how to live a more successful and fulfilling life through the practice of Core Values Consciousness. This adult level of thinking and living is made more available to us all through the CVI."--Page 2 of cover.
