Universal Human Values: Building Humanity from Self to Civilization
About this ebook
The contents of this book are designed to support learners in exploring essential human values through self-reflection, experiential validation, and practical understanding. It addresses the need for balance between knowledge, skills, and ethics while encouraging the development of right understanding, right relationships, and sustainable prosperity.
The approach adopted in this book emphasizes self-exploration as the foundation for learning—encouraging individuals to assess and validate ideas based on their own natural acceptance. By doing so, the reader is guided to discover values that are universally relevant, yet personally experienced and lived.
We hope this book serves as a valuable companion for students, educators, and all those who seek to build a just, compassionate, and peaceful society—beginning from the self and extending to the world at large.
