Core Values is essential reading if we want to reclaim the optimism and freedoms that made America the greatest nation on earth. This book is a guide to restoring America's heart and soul based on a neurologist's insight into why we are either liberal or conservative. It explains why our country is destructively divided against itself. Core Values builds on the conservative momentum of the 2010 midterm elections as we transform our anger against big government into knowledge and positive action. Dr. Livingstone explains that we can only steer our country back to solid center ground if we function from our Core Values, if we recognize the source of these values and if we know how to read political character. Core Values describes these three elements for success in straightforward terms and gives us positive tools to respond to the threats to our freedom and financial security. Core Values describes why some people are liberal and others conservative and why some of us cherish the individual expression of life while others want to collectivize it. Most importantly, Core Values gives us a way to identify the motives and means of operation of those who seek to supplant our core values with destructive and divisive ones. This concise, easy to read book is a serious book for serious times and helps each one of us to reclaim America's soul before our heritage slips away.
