Rediscovering American Values: The Foundations Of Our Freedom For The 21st Century

The Story

In 'Rediscovering American Values,' Dick DeVos, a popular public speaker, celebrates the principles that make America great and that shape who we are, how we live, and how we treat each other. Through real-life examples, he offers lessons on how each of us can apply these values in everything we do.Ideals such as honesty, fairness, humility, initiative, service, compassion, and leadership are, he argues, not just a matter of preference but essential to both personal and collective freedom. DeVos relates inspiring stories of how Americans have applied these principles to their lives and dispels the notion that once admired standards have completely disappeared from our society.DeVos also draws on his own personal and business experiences and those of his father, Rich DeVos, the co-founder of Amway, a company that embodies the rewards of hard work and integrity that are part of the pantheon of American values. These same values were reflected in Rich DeVos's Dutton bestseller CompassionateCapitalism, which has sold over 200,000 copies.
