The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was my first step to living a principle-centered life. Rather than focus on looking good and impressing others, 7 Habits offers an inside-out approach to life. How do you define a vision for your life or business, make plans and set priorities that make an impact?; How do you build a meaningful relationship with others, communicate empathically, and develop partnerships that matter; and how can you continuously renew your personal vision, leadership, management and relationship with others?

This is a must-read book.
