Summary: Simple? Yes, but profound doesn't mean complex!
Review: Having read many of these reviews, I can bundle them into two groups? Those who read it to appreciate its potential value (both Mormon and non-Mormon) and those who have something against the Mormon church and are using this venue to vent their dislike. If you give it a bad review, you should be bold enough to sign your name. You know, to "stand for something". But the fact is, if you read this book and find something you can actually apply to your life to benefit you and/or your family, then Hinckley has done his job. He has set out to give us a few basic, simple methods for improving the society we live in. Honestly, I didn't consider it a page-turner, but I found numerous ideas that I can readily apply to my work, social, and family life. It is profound, and simple enough for the common person, like me, to apply. It will forever reside on my book shelf with other great works for easy reference ... and I intend to refer to it often.

Summary: Standing for Something... something to stand for!
Review: This book, written by the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, addresses many of the social and other problems society faces today. It is a book inspired of years of experience dealing with literally millions of people, including his own family. A definite must see for anyone interested in a better, more fulfilling life, with the context of marriage, work, family and most other areas.

Summary: Even my Teenagers liked it!
Review: I read this book mostly out of curiosity peppered with a desire to focus on traits which will bring peace to my life. While reading the book, I would leave it laying around the house -- often finding it somewhere other than where I had left it. I found out that the four teenagers in my house would occasionally read segments of the book. How did I discover this? When my 17 yr old son said, "You know, being thrifty makes sense -- just like that "old guy" Hinckley said." I know I felt motivated to refocus on strengthing my positive attributes as a result of reading this book -- but the best review I can give is: my teenagers liked it and have quoted from it. That alone makes it worthwhile to have in my home!

Summary: Give us a break
Review: Hinckley is the head of a multination MLM that disguises itself as a religion to avoid taxes. He's openly lied to the media and to his followers. How insulting that he would write a book on virtue.

Summary: Standing For Something: 10 Neglected Virtues that Will Heal
Review: Very simply, this book speaks directly to the heart of any person who loves virtue and Family values. Expressed simply and without equivocation. Backed with scriptoral references from the the Old and New Testaments, but duelly supported with wonderful anecdotes and wisdoms gained from the author's life experiences. An optimistic plea for us to return to the forgotten basic Morals upon which this great country was founded. A must read for anyone who is not blind to the ails of our current society.

Summary: Great book, great message
Review: I can honestly say that I am amazed at how simple principles and ideas make so much sense amid the confusing, hectic world we live in. Hinckley's book just goes to show that sometimes we all need to take a step back and re-evaluate our lives and what is really important. Although these ideas are easily labeled as "old-fashioned" and "dated", the book proves that some things never change. Everyone can benefit from the timeless words found in this book.
