Quotes, hypothetical questions, excerpts, sharing of wisdom, comedic anecdotes, illustrations, etc. This small book shares the fourth (Habit 4: Think Win-Win) of seven principles of the original The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in a portable, easy-to-read, more simpler to incorporate and comprehend, in a lighter, portable format.
Each principle builds upon the other--the first three moving you from dependence to independence. The second three transitioning you from independence to interdepence (the goal we all want to achieve--we just don't realize it, most think they want to become independent, not interdependent).
