DIANE TILLMAN, the author of LVEP's Living Values Activities series, is a licensed educational psychologist with twenty-three years' experience in the public school system in California.

The Living Values Activities curriculum is written for educators and other adults working with youth who are concerned about an increasingly violent world and a lack of respect for others. Already a success in more than 1,000 locations worldwide, Living Values: An Educational Program offers activities that promote self-esteem, emotional intelligence, creative expression and values-based decision-making ability-the necessary wellspring of skills that will enable youth to respond positively to an ever-changing and diverse society. This Living Values Activities book includes:

• Goals and lesson plans for young adults ages 15-22 that explore twelve key units:  Peace, Respect, Love, Tolerance, Honesty, Humility, C-operation, Happiness, Responsibility, Simplicity, Unity and Freedom
• Lessons that encourage skill-building for both left- and right-brain thinkers, including reflecting, imagining, mind mapping, writing, artistic expression, role plays, and discussion.
• Student-tested exercises submitted by successful educators.
• Tips to incorporate the program into a curriculum with time and budget constraints.
• Examples of dialogues to be used in guided imagery; conflict resolution and stories.
• Educator notes for preparation and special circumstances.

Whether you are a professor, counsellor, workshop leader, facilitator or a concerned parent, equipping the young people of today with social skills and allowing them to explore core values will help them develop their potential, and inspire them to put their values into practice in the world by making a positive difference.
