The third alternative

Stephen Covey—who passed away in July of this year—always dedicated himself to changing people's futures by making destiny less mysterious. This was the case in works such as *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People*, *Living the 7 Habits*, and *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families*, all published by Bestseller. In *The 3rd Alternative*, the author focuses on an essential and infallible practice for anyone in any context: synergy of interests. According to him, even in the most complex conflicts, there is always a middle ground that can satisfy both sides. And this counterpoint is the 3rd alternative. "[Stephen Covey] avoided miraculous and silly solutions, preferring to draw inspiration from Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin, who favored integrity, courage, and patience." The Financial Times
