We all do it: we have values that we hold dear and we act in ways that aren't in accord with those values.  Or we have what feel like conflicting values: we believe we have to give up on some of our values in order to live by others. Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, called this the "pain of divided conscience."  Yet most of us long to walk our talk, to be able to make choices more easily that fulfill our and values.  How do we live with the reality that we want this, and that it's difficult to figure out how to make some changes?  Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader, is the speaker.
