Great post, but dont forget that there are 3 types of values:
1- inherited (which comes through childhood)
2- compensatory
3- experimental
So most people as you said let their inherited values run their lives, however, many others generate the other teo kinds and dont let their childhood run the scene when they're adults...
But good efforts bro
Interesting - not heard values described in that way before. What's a compensatory value?
You can read more in details in any book on NLP, compensatory values are ones that the person develop to compensate something she went through during her life, like developing a value of compassion because someone's parents used to beat her when she was a child, or developing value of helping others if the person was born an orphan and no one looked after him
Ah I see - thanks @algracious :) will research this!
