Review:
Dr. Covey, the pundit of self-help books has forged such a relationship with the audience that is personal and he has been a guide to innumerable people worldwide. This new book is a masterpiece in itself as it pushes the boundaries of self to merge into a collective whole in order to make the contrived differences disappear to give way to a more conglomerative atmosphere at home or at work. The book doesn't leave you midway with certain dos and don'ts on the other hand, it appeals to your attitude by mixing examples with stories, the essence of which stays on.
The world is marred by conflicts at an individual as well as at the collective level; The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems is full of answers to this problem. The ideas can bring about a change in your life only if you consciously make an effort to mould your mind being in tune with the author's ideas and suggestions. After all, all the problems that we face today are born out of the indiscipline of our mind and to regulate them is the only solution. The book emphasizes the fact that our differences are powerful illusions that divide us, thus the book ordains the reader to find the centre in them that is all-integrating.
