I am reading the portable 7 habits. This is the first of the seven. Extremely motivational, powerful, and a real kick-starter. Right up my alley since I am the OCD of OCD collectors of quotes.
Quotes, hypothetical questions, excerpts, sharing of wisdom, comedic anecdotes, illustrations, etc. This small book shares the first (Habit 1: Be Proactive) 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).

A person I love gave me this as a gift and I know why. It has gold inside. Finished it right after I read the 7 habits and it helped greatly with my relationship with myself. 🙏🏼🕍🔋

My favorite part of this book is this quote, "do the hardest thing on earth for you". So powerful!
