This encouraging and enlightening book provides us with the direction to achieve our goals and find true fulfillment while maintaining our personal freedom and integrity. In Rediscovering American Values, Dick DeVos, president of Amway, shows us how the values that make America great can be incorporated into our daily lives. These are the values that shape who we are, how we live, and how we treat one another. With plainspoken strength and proven wisdom, DeVos reveals how a return to these traditional values can provide the foundation upon which to build more menaingful, satisfying lives. Drawing on his experiences as the head of one of America's most successful businesses and on his abiding belief in the values that underlie the power and prosperity of America, DeVos describes the rich rewards we can earn through self-discipline and hard work. Using his own life as a step-by-step guide, he shares the invaluable lessons he has leaned on the road to success and happiness. The son of Amway co-founder Rich DeVos, he had to work his way up in the family business. He tackled challenges, earned responsibility, and developed the courage and confidence to grow as an individual and to make his own unique contribution to Amway, his community, and his country. DeVos explores 24 basic values -- from honesty and compassion to initiative and leadership -- demonstrating how they are the very foundation of our freedom. Including inspirational examples of everyday Americans who have applied these basic principles to their lives and work, Rediscovering American Values offers the guidance we need to carry us into the twenty-first century. It is essential reading for anyone who believes that the American Dream can still be ours." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
