I want to recommend this self-help book to my friends because I am actively practicing the habits, and they are guiding me toward a better life.
Instead of quick-fix solutions, Stephen Covey emphasizes sustainable, long-term growth, encouraging you to work from the inside out.
1. Be Proactive: Take responsibility for your actions and focus on what you can control.
2. Begin with the End in Mind: Define clear goals and outcomes before starting any task.
3. Put First Things First: Prioritize important tasks over urgent but less meaningful ones.
4. Think Win-Win: Aim for mutually beneficial solutions in your interactions and relationships.
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Listen empathically before expressing your views.
6. Synergize: Collaborate effectively by leveraging others' strengths for better results.
7. Sharpen the Saw: Continuously renew yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I am reviewing this book to help me remember its key lessons and refer to them from time to time.

Thanks for the review, Liong. Also the stories about paradigm shift and circle of influence/concern are great as well.
