The 7 Habits of Highly Affective People (hereafter known as "7"), by Stephen Covey.
The Reason?
Graded Assignment.
The Message?
Here's where it gets interesting...
The message that I got from this first chapter of "7" is that Covey wants us to realize that his book is different from self help books. Fundamentally so. Where the other books try to treat things like time management deficiencies, intimacy issues, and other relationship problems like they are the main problem, Covey points out that these things are the manifestation of the real problem. He gets back to something which this author thought had long ago left the scene in this day and age. A little thing called personal responsibility and strength of character. He tells us that we make who we are, and since this is the case, we can change who we are for the better. When we make ourselves better people, we can interact with other people better as well, because other people will take notice.
Thats all I got for this one. I don't know if this is what the CPT is looking for, so we'll see.
