The Values Map

In The Values Map: Discover What Drives You and How to Move Others, David Allison reveals that shared human values-not age, gender, or geography-are the most powerful predictors of behavior. Drawing from nearly one million surveys across 180 countries, this book provides a proven framework for understanding what truly drives you and the people around you. Through vivid storytelling, Allison demonstrates how values drive our decisions, shape relationships, and transform organizations.

Each chapter illuminates how global brands, grassroots movements, and individuals have used values to reshape industries and lives.
