The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: The Philosophers Notes Challenge

Here’s a series you might want to track:

On FinerMinds for the next 30 days, we’ll be running a special challenge that will expand your mind in ways you’ve probably always hoped you could, but have just never had the time.

In short, Brian Johnson, has re-released his famous Philosophers Notes.

And while we think Brian is a genius in his own right, these “notes” are actually a summary of some of the greatest personal development and business books in history.

So to give you a little taste of these famous “notes”, we want to invite you to join the Philosophers Notes Challenge, where each day for the next 30 days, Brian will be releasing a new video discussing a different book from his Philosophers Notes collection.

The idea is to get your mind flowing with new juicy insights, and you chatting with like-minded people about your thoughts… regardless of how philosophical they may be… (no judgment, we promise!).

And to kick-start the challenge, today we’ll be studying the famed and highly talked about book: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.

Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the book:

“I believe that a life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth. I do not agree with the popular success literature that says that self-esteem is primarily a matter of mind set, of attitude — that you can psych yourself into peace of mind. Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.” – Stephen R. Covey from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Give Up the Blame Game. Be Your Own HERO!

No one owes you anything. God has given you everything you need already to create universes. When you blame and wallow in feeling sorry for yourself, you miss your own amazing gifts.

Feels ahead.

Todd Lohenry‘s insight:

While at Comicpalooza, a girl asked Sir Patrick Stewart a question about what the most important thing he’d ever done besides acting was. His answer was his work with campaigns against violence towards women, which led to this impassioned answer and wonderful gesture. Go to the source to see the video…

How bad a person am I?

As Montaigne said “no one is more monster or miracle than myself”. I’d much rather believe that I’m a good person who sometimes does bad things than the other way around but both natures live within me…

Rare and Precious Joy

Tara Brach writes:

When I talk to people about how much they experience joy, most say, “Not so much.” Joy is not a frequent visitor, and when it does appear, it’s fleeting.

Joy arises when we are open to both the beauty and suffering inherent in living. Like a great sky that includes all different types of weather, joy is an expansive quality of presence. It says “Yes to life, no matter what!”  Yet it’s infrequency lets us know our more habitual posture: resisting what’s happening, saying “No” to the life that is here and now.  We tend to override our innate capacity for joy with our incessant inner dialogue, our chronic attempts to avoid unpleasantness and to hold on to pleasure. Rather than joy in the present moment, we are trying to get somewhere else, to experience something that is better, different.

The great French writer, André Gide, said:

“Know that joy is rarer, more difficult and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”
