Worthy of Us: Ten Essential Virtues for Troubled Times
About this ebook
It’s time to reclaim the values that matter most.
In a disconnected and fractured world, Rabbi David Wolpe—widely regarded as the most influential rabbi of our time—offers a clarion call to reclaim the timeless values that give life meaning, direction, and depth.
Drawing on decades of scholarship and lived spiritual wisdom, Rabbi Wolpe makes a compelling case for the enduring power of religious values in a rapidly changing world. Compassion, justice, humility, gratitude, and hope: these are not relics of the past, but practical guides for navigating modern life with integrity and purpose.
Worthy of Us poses the questions our culture too often avoids: How do we protect the dignity of others—and ourselves—in an age of dehumanization? How do we find purpose when distraction is everywhere? What does it mean to live ethically when our shared moral foundations seem increasingly contested? With Rabbi Wolpe’s guidance, you will learn how to:
- Reframe how you think about meaning, morality, and community
- Discover how timeless spiritual values apply to modern everyday life
- Find clarity and direction in an age of distraction and division
Accessible, warm, and bracingly direct, this is not a book only for the devout. Whether you are deeply religious, spiritually curious, or simply searching for a moral compass, Worthy of Us delivers the clarity and actionable insight to help you live with greater intention—and to help build a kinder, more connected world in the process.
