featured on A Man's World, April

Jane Middelton-Moz, is a therapist and a renowned
trainer, consultant and community interventionist. She maintains
that so many of us
today lack the thread and rich hues that were once woven into the
fabric which protected and held our ancestors together through
challenging times. Family and community ties are often obscured
today by cell phones, the Internet, multi-channel TV selections,
videogames, fear, materialism and competition. In this interview
on her recent book, "Values from the Font Porch", Jane
explores 23 fundamental values and the importance of being more
mindful of them in our day-to-day activities. So many of these
are particularly vital for men in the enumerable leadership roles
they perform.
Recognizing
the central role that grandmothers have played in many cultures—that
of handing down traditions
and values to the
younger generation—each chapter centers around recollections
from people realizing what their grandmothers taught them about
a particular virtue and how these teachings have aided them in
their lives. "Values from the Front Porch" provides lessons
we can incorporate in our own lines to create stronger and more
joyful families and communities.
