The 2011 book "Personal Value" has received several positive reviews. Passages from these reviews are quoted at the website of Oxford University Press:

“The work is so dense with insightful and provocative arguments it is worth a second read, and at least a first to anyone with even a remote interest in value theory. One couldnt do it justice in the space allotted here" - Christian Coons, Ethics
"Personal Value should be of immense interest not only to value theorists and moral philosophers, but also to philosophers of mind and metaphysicians" - Olivier Massin, Dialectica
"I learned more, about more different things, in reading this book than I have from any comparable work in some time. . . . a provocative and stimulating work. . . . It will not be and Rønnow-Rasmussen does not pretend it will be the last word on personal value. But as a first word it is a firecracker." - Mark LeBar, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
"very rich and fascinating exploration of personal value ... [a] pioneering account" - Kevin Mulligan, Utilitas.

The paper "The Strike of the Demon" is probably one of the most cited contributions to value theory in recent years.
