“We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it.”
This book presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles. Instead of shortcuts, it looks at one's character and how making slow, internal changes creates change externally. The first three habits are internal - they move you from being controlled by external factors and the world to being in control of it all. Habits 4, 5, and 6 focus on relationships and the power of effective communication. Finally, Habit 7 is all about continuous improvement of the self.
