From the Inside Flap
We can't turn back the clock or legislate our way out of society's malaise. But here's what wecan do: Look to the bedrock values all Americans share. We many never agree on Iraq, abortion, or how to boost our economy, but surely we can agree that "Our word should be our bond."
For a definition of those shared values, we need to look no further than the Cowboy Way. Living by a code that centers on principles like honesty, loyalty, and courage, the working cowboy is an enduring American hero--one providing just the kind of inspiration our country needs to find unity and hope in these troubled times.
It's not too late for us to get back to the qualities that made America great. Cowboy Values gives us a great place to start. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the author

After a successful 35-year Wall Street career, James P. Owen found new purpose in being an author, inspirational speaker, and social entrepreneur. His book, "Cowboy Ethics," a best-seller with more than 150,000 copies in circulation, and two follow-up volumes, "Cowboy Values" and "The Try," shine a light on the importance of shared values and personal character in our society.
Now Jim is propelled by a new mission: showing older adults how to get and stay in shape. His latest book, "Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness after 50" (National Geographic), was inspired by his personal journey of transformation. As a 70-year-old “couch potato,” Jim resolved to do whatever it took to become fit and ease his chronic back pain. Seven years later, he is in better shape than he was in his twenties, and has become a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. In his speaking engagements, he reminds audiences that being in shape helps older adults stay mobile, active, and independent, enabling a quality of life no amount of money can buy. Jim lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Stanya.

These three books back up everything that Owen presents to us:
Mary Austin, THE LAND OF LITTLE RAIN
Edward Abbey, ONE LIFE AT A TIME, PLEASE
Barney Nelson, THE WILD AND THE DOMESTIC
I can only say of Owen, "May his tribe increase."
When I read the book I realized that I had heard many of these life lessons before. Different words but the same messages and lessons my parents taught me. As I looked around at what our society had become, I decided that I would in my own small way tell as many people as I could about how this book would be an extremely valuable tool for teaching children and reminding adults of what counts in life and how to live by a code.
The books have changed my life and I want to help change the lives of others particularly our children
Since then I also purchased Cowboy Values and I now buy them and give the pair of books as gifts to friends, relatives and even to some politicians.
If I had to start a school or teach a class, these two fantastic books would serve as the basis of my curriculum. If the kids could learn these basic principles, there is no mountain they couldn't climb or dream they could not fulfill.
If you have children or nieces or nephews I would recommend you give them these two books as gifts. And I will bet that many adults should be reading these books as well.
At a time of uncertainty and anxiety about the future, Cowboy Values and Cowboy Ethics will give you some hope that we will get through this period if we just remember the great truths that built America are still true today.
As that great American icon, John Wayne once said, "A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job".
When you read these two books and absorb the lessons I think you will agree.
