The book is available in some university libraries as an e-book with downloadable chapters.

An alternate version of this exercise is as follows, if the group does not have much pre-existing trust.

  1. Have each participate fill out the worksheet anonymously and pass it back to the instructor.
  2. Once all worksheets are gathered, instructor shuffles them and randomly assigns a filled worksheet to each participant with instructions to post the sticky dots in the appropriate places on the group values chart.  (In this way, no participant is observed to be putting his or her values "on the line".)
