The Value of You. Many people who suffer with obesity think of themselves as being worthless. But, the truth is that each of us is a unique work of art, a singular creation and beyond price. Even in the world of checks and credits, each of us has value because others have chosen to invest in us, whether financially or emotionally. By way of analogy, Craig shows us that even a violin overlooked in a pawn shop as a “piece of junk” can turn out to have tremendous worth – if only we know how to recognize it.
